Bug Description
Binary package hint: firebird2-
On Edgy, when you install Firebird2 and try to run it, you'll get the following error:
/etc/init.
I believe the cause for this is because the init script is using sh and not bash. To fix this error, I changed the 'shebang' line from
#!/bin/sh
to
#!/bin/bash -e
and this solved the problem.

The error is that source is a "bashism" - something that works in bash and not other POSIX-compliant shells. I will prepare an upload and close this bug when it has hit the archive.
