GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 552052
mkinconlinks uses bash substring syntax
Last modified: 2009-01-29 22:03:24 UTC
The script has /bin/sh in shebang but uses bash ${NEXTLINE:0:1} substring syntax. In PLD we use pdksh as /bin/sh and it does not support this substitution syntax. We currently use $(echo $NEXTLINE| cut -c1) as a replacement. This bug is part of pushing PLD patches upstream.
