Bug 571616 – app-admin/logrotate fails test suite when /bin/sh is not bash

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description René Rhéaume 2016-01-12 04:10:49 UTC]

As written in the title, logrotate fails its test suite when /bin/sh points to a shell that is not bash (in my case, it's dash). However, there are bashisms in the test scripts and configuration and once we eliminate those bashisms, the test suite passes. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. FEATURES="test" emerge logrotate
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
emake failed (test phase)

Expected Results:  
logrotate installed on system
