Package: debian-reference-common
Version: 2.44
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The example script in chapter 10 section 10.1.9
("A copy script for the data backup") uses the dash
shell but contains bashisms in the function definitions
that cause it to fail. Dash function definitions do
not take the 'function' keyword and so the script fails
at line 3 with a message "'Unexpected '('".
Attached is a patch which removes the 'function'
keywords from the function definitions.
