[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#499713: [kipi-plugins] images2mpg not posix compatible but only depends on /bin/sh

Package: kipi-plugins
Version: 0.1.5-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The current version of images2mpg will fail when you don't have bash installed 
as you default shell (/bin/sh). It can be tested when you install dash and 
reconfigure your system by using "dpkg-reconfigure dash" and then say "Yes" 
that dash should be you default shell. When you now start "images2mpg -i" you 
will get some shell errors:
[: 246: 1: unexpected operator
shift: 546: can't shift that many

To fix this the shell must be changed to /bin/bash.. The problem seems to be 
created by debian and not by upstream. The problematic patch is in 
debian/patches/50_images2mpg_default_bin_folder.diff
