Bug Description
Binary package hint: mksh
There is a new upstream version in Debian which fixes some of the things addressed
in my last debdiff (LP #381332) and a few more ways to crash mksh, that’s why I am
proposing an update to the latest sid version.
The attached debdiff contains the patches still necessary on Ubuntu Karmic:
• dietlibc produces unusable binaries on powerpc and sparc ⇒ skip it there
• mksh should not be installed as /bin/sh on Ubuntu due to bugs in the init scripts
(dashisms probably; should be reviewed for Karmic though, unless it’s Ubuntu
policy that only dash be allowed /bin/sh, in which case debconf dash/sh should
be hardcoded to true)
• The gcc used in Karmic at the moment chokes on “-fwhole-program --combine”
(see LP #352475 – fixed in gcc-snapshots though…)
I would kindly request this upload be sponsored (I am both mksh upstream author
and Debian package maintainer, and also had the last upload of mksh sponsored).
