I'm not that familiar with the Ubuntu procedures so I can't really speak for Ubuntu. But in my karmic chroot bash is still essential and so according to debian-policy which mostly applies as ubuntu-policy too AFAIK, it would be wrong to depend on it. If a Pre-Depends really would be needed for shell scripts then I think this would be a real nightmare, So IMO nothing needs to be changed at all. Just wishlist to remove the bash dependency at all, but I don't think we ever do this in Debian. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- Missing dependency to bash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487456 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
