[Gnumed-devel] <bug> shell scripts fail when /bin/sh <> /bin/bash

[Jerzy Luszawski]

I tried to install gnumed on the fresh installation of Kubuntu 8.04 and was 
caught by various syntax errors when executing scripts. It turned out that in 
Kubuntu /bin/sh is linked to /bin/dash instead of /bin/bash as in many other 
common distros. 
I know that it doesn't mean the scripts are bad, but in my case they just 
failed, and it took a while to guess why. 
It is easy to avoid  by putting explicit reference to bash in the scripts 
(#!/bin/bash). This could save some great deal of frustration for potential 
users.
Please consiter it.
