Description Jonathan Rogers 2003-10-12 19:02:51 UTC

The java-config tool starts with "#! /bin/sh", but it contains Bash-specific
syntax. In particular, it uses the optional keyword "function" in function
definitions and some funky expansions. This issue is trivial to fix by replacing
"/bin/sh" with "/bin/bash".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge app-shells/ash
2.replace /bin/sh with a symlink to /bin/ash
3.run java-config

Actual Results:  
[: 36: 0: unexpected operator
/usr/bin/java-config: 38: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


Expected Results:  
Usage: java-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]
