[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#269573: {add|remove}-shell should be recoded in C

[Christian Perrier]

In #269573, the bug submitter complains that he cannot remove the bash
package, because its prerm script calls.....remove-shell, which is a
shell script. Indeed, as bash is then the last remaining shell, we
enter a nice loop.

Matthias Klose finally suggested the only safe solution to this=A0:
recode the two utilities {add|remove}-shell in C (or Perl).

Anyone wanting to try?

If no-one volunteers, we will tag this bug wontfix.
