Comment 2 for bug 69455

Hi all,

Recently I was made aware of bashisms[0] in the opcontrol script in
Edgy's oprofile 0.9.2-1 that were fixed in Debian's upload of 0.9.2-2.
All arches in Edgy are affected, and only Edgy is affected. For this
reason I've generated a debdiff that changes the invoked shell to
/bin/bash instead of /bin/sh, which is the least invasive and obviously
correct fix.

Attached please find an SRU debdiff for 6.10's oprofile 0.9.2-1.
