Package: xcp-xapi-debug
Version: 1.3.2-11
Severity: normal

Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' 
package) check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making 
use of a bashism.

checkbashisms' output:
>possible bashism in ./usr/lib/xcp/debug/install-debian-pv.sh line 35
>(should be 'b = a'):
>if [ "${NUMPBDS}" == "0" ]; then

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which 
doesn't provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to 
errors or unexpected behaviours.

You can find hints about how to fix bashisms at:

Thank you,
