Changelog
dash (0.5.7-2~exp1) experimental; urgency=low
* debian/diff/0003-VAR-Disable-LINENO-support.diff: remove
(closes: #540685, reopens: #582952).
* debian/dash.preinst:
- rewrite in C (closes: #604873).
- if dash's copy of /bin/sh is not already diverted, divert it
on behalf of bash. This ensures extracting a new version of
dash does not overwrite /bin/sh and handling of that symlink
is left to postinst. Likewise for .../man/man1/sh.1.gz.
- if /bin/sh is not executable (for example because it is a
symlink to a nonexistent file), replace it with a symlink to
dash. Likewise for /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz.
* debian/dash.postinst:
- remove workaround for dpkg bug #160848 ("dpkg-divert --remove"
silently enabling --rename). The dash package already depends
on dpkg 1.15.0 or later, which has the fix.
- respect local diversions.
- clarify.
