Package: spampd Version: 2.30-13 Severity: important
Hi, I have tried to install spampd, and it fails. It seems that the /etc/init.d/spampd script contains things that bash can handle but dash cannot. Like the check if I am root: $EUID is not defined in dash. Then I have removed that section, and now it fails on a function definition. Please install dash, link it to /bin/sh, and then fix your scripts. What about changing the first line to #!/bin/bash? I don't know if the Debian policy allows it or not. But at least changing to bash I could remove the half-installed package.
