           Summary: .installer_post_libscan uses bashisms, but claims only
                    to need /bin/sh
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 1.2.5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: packaging
        AssignedTo: wberrier at novell.com

On ubuntu 7.10 with the .bin installer, .installer_post_libscan fails with an
error on line 9. The script works when /bin/bash is replaced with /bin/bash. It
appears to use bash specific syntax, and on Ubuntu /bin/sh is no longer bash.

A simple fix is to replace /bin/sh with /bin/bash on all non-portable shell
scripts.
