Subject: xbase-clients: [startx] uses non-POSIX statements (/bin/bash)

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: serious

The new /usr/X11R6/bin/startx script contains statement that is
is not /bin/sh compatible. I use /bin/sh => /bin/dash and the
script fails to start.

The offending line is:

   147	add $displayname . $mcookie
   148	EOF
   149		removelist="$displayname $removelist"
   150	    else
>> 151	        dummy=$((dummy+1));
   152	        /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth -q -f $xserverauthfile << EOF
   153	add :$dummy . $authcookie
   154	EOF
   155	    fi
   156	done
