           Summary: pkg_postinst_ipkg() does not work with /bin/dash
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: openembedded-devel at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: di at fh-wedel.de
         QAContact: tinderbox-oe at gmx.net


Consider the following code:

echo -e "#!/bin/sh 
ipkg-cl configure
" > ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/${sysconfdir}/rcS.d/S${IPKG_INIT_POSITION}configure

This fails if /bin/sh points to /bin/dash, because obviously /bin/dash has its
own, builtin echo. I suggest either to remove the -e, it is not used anyway, or
use /bin/echo or \echo instead. This is a principal issue, we should not always
rely on having a particular version of /bin/sh offering whatever non-standard
facilities.
