cronjob fails in dash

This bug was fixed in the package ocsinventory-agent - 2:2.10.0-3

---------------
ocsinventory-agent (2:2.10.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * Use /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh in cronjob as the script uses a
    bashism. (Closes: #988245) (LP: #2004007)
  * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.6.2.
  * Drop unneeded (alternative) (test) dependencies.
  * Annotate test-only build dependencies with <!nocheck>.
  * Refresh propagate-ccflags.patch: update buildflags handling.

Thanks a lot for the quick respond and the fix.
Since the cronjob stays unusable in LTS: Will there be a backport of the fix for 22.04?

FWIW it looks like the fixing of the cronjob in version 2:2.10.0-3 was actually unnecessary and counterproductive, because the latest version of the package also ships a systemd timer - so now the package in lunar and later is running the agent twice a day...
