[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#737621: sympa uses /bis/sh which causes errors on upgrading

[Svenja Otten]

Package: sympa
Version: 6.1.11~dfsg-5

Hi,

I upgraded one of our debian machines from squeeze to wheezy.
While upgrading there encountered some errors in configuring sympa. This was
due to using /bin/sh in sympa's postinstallation script.
I solved the problem with changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash as you can see here:

-su -l sympa -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa.pl --upgrade"
+su -l sympa -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa.pl --upgrade"
 
 ## End up with debconf
