Hallo,

xflock4 has a bashism in the arithmetic expression in line 52:

 52 ret=$(echo $(dbus-send --session \
 53                        --dest=org.xfce.SessionManager \
 54                        --print-reply=literal \
 55                        --reply-timeout=$((2**31 - 1)) \
 56                        --type=method_call \
 57                        /org/xfce/SessionManager \
 58                        org.xfce.Session.Manager.Lock))

This only works if sh is symlinked to bash and breaks with dash, which is the
default in Debian.

With /usr/bin/sh -> bash:

$ sh
sh-5.2$ echo $((2**31 - 1))
2147483647

With /usr/bin/sh -> dash:

$ sh
$ echo $((2**31 - 1))
sh: 1: arithmetic expression: expecting primary: "2**31 -1"

Proposed solution: Just hardcode MAXINT as 2147483647 into the script instead
of calculating it on the fly. It is a magick number anyways, nothing is gained 
by
the calculation.

Grüße,
Sven.
