Public bug reported: The only reason showfsck uses #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh is arithmetic evaluation.
The line NB=$(($MMC - $MC + 1)) in /usr/sbin/showfsck can be changed to NB=$(expr $MMC - $MC + 1) to make the script shell-agnostic. /usr/bin/expr is in coreutils package, which has priority 'required' both in Ubuntu and Debian. ** Affects: showfsck (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- No need to be bash-specific https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
