Hi,

the attached patch replaces add-shell/remove-shell with the declarative
shells.d trigger from debianutils.

For details about this new mechanism see https://bugs.debian.org/990440.

This further reduces the number of maintainer scripts in the
Essential:yes set and is the last missing piece for DPKG_ROOT support in
bash.

I also submitted the same improvement to dash:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dash/-/merge_requests/8

Thanks!

cheers, josch

Hi,

Quoting Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues (2022-01-22 09:25:43)

the shells.d patch has been applied in dash in unstable for over a month now
and the dash maintainer states that there have been no problems since then.

I'd thus like to send a friendly ping to this bug and ask about applying
shells.d support from debianutils to bash as well.

If you have no objections, I can also prepare an NMU as I've done for #958083.

Thanks!

cheers, josch

Thanks!
