ecryptfs-migrate-home only shows usage information

[Zeno Gantner]

sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home -u zgantner

(where zgantner is my username) does not work for me.

I only see the usage information.

My workaround was to change

DO_ENCRYPT=
while true; do
       [ -z "$1" ] && break
       case "$1" in
               -u|--user)
                       DO_ENCRYPT=1
                       USER_NAME="$2"
                       shift 2
               ;;
               *)
                       usage
               ;;
       esac
done

into

DO_ENCRYPT=1
USER_NAME=zgantner
#while true; do
# [ -z "$1" ] && break
# case "$1" in
# -u|--user)
# DO_ENCRYPT=1
# USER_NAME="$2"
# shift 2
# ;;
# *)
# usage
# ;;
# esac
#done

I am no shell scripting guru, so I am not sure what the code in the while loop actually does.
Could it be that it works nicely with bash, but not with dash?

ls -lh /bin/sh

gives

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 29 20:53 /bin/sh -> dash

Marking this bug as invalid since there has been no activity and I can no longer reproduce it.

I've tested with `sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home -u foo`, `sudo dash /usr/bin/ecryptfs-migrate-home -u foo`, and `sudo sh /usr/bin/ecryptfs-migrate-home -u foo` on an updated amd64 12.04 system (ecryptfs-utils 96-0ubuntu3.1) and they all worked.
