Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.4-4.10 Severity: wishlist While trying to rebuild ifupdown I noticed that makenwdep.sh was generating bogus output, e.g.
-e defn2man.pl : ifupdown.nw -e notangle -R$@ $< >$@ -e chmod 755 defn2man.pl This was due to my system having /bin/sh --> /bin/dash, which is POSIX conformant and thus does not support "-e" to echo. However, as you see the escape sequences was indented and properly parsed. Adding the following line to the top of mkenwdep.sh script did the trick. #!/bin/bash I'm not sure using /bin/sh and removing -e from echo works on all /bin/sh, probably not. Best to use bash, I guess.
