From: "P. J. McDermott" Description: Hardcode shell interpreter and hide BusyBox getopt error When building fakeroot on a GNU system, configure sets SHELL to /bin/bash. The resulting fakeroot script then can't be run on ProteanOS without manually executing the correct shell interpreter. . BusyBox's getopt applet doesn't recognize the "--version" option, so fakeroot ends up printing BusyBox's long error message. diff -Naur src.orig/scripts/fakeroot.in src/scripts/fakeroot.in --- src.orig/scripts/fakeroot.in 2011-11-30 23:00:36.000000000 -0500 +++ src/scripts/fakeroot.in 2013-06-03 18:25:46.040882928 -0400 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -#!@SHELL@ +#!/bin/sh # This script first starts faked (the daemon), and then it will run # the requested program with fake root privileges. @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ libfound=no -GETOPTEST=`getopt --version` +GETOPTEST=`getopt --version 2>/dev/null` case $GETOPTEST in getopt*) # GNU getopt FAKE_TEMP=`getopt -l lib: -l faked: -l unknown-is-real -l fd-base: -l version -l help -- +l:f:i:s:ub:vh "$@"`
