The bashism can probably be rewritten. ** Affects: nis (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1927540 Title: /var/lib/dpkg/info/nis.postinst: 76: [: -eq: unexpected operator To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/1927540/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
