[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#560420: does NOT work with SHELL!=bash

[Evgeni Golov]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.1.0.1-3
Severity: grave

Hi,

in the changelog, you write you made dkms_autoinstaller behave well with
SHELL!=bash. This seems not to be the case for me (/bin/sh is dash, I
tested zsh too).

This seems to be because of
   if [ -f $filename/source/dkms.conf ]; then
        . $filename/source/dkms.conf
   else
as these configs contains FOO[0]=BAR, which makes zsh cry:
zsh: FOO: assignment to invalid subscript range
and dash whine:
dash: FOO[0]=BAR: not found

I fear you'll have to go back to /bin/bash, or change the format of the
config files in an incomatible way...

Regards
Evgeni
