bashism in /etc/cron.daily/libdspam7-drv-mysql

Bug #88989 reported by Joe Barnett on 2007-03-01

Bug Description

Binary package hint: libdspam7-drv-mysql

got the following error in cronjob:

/etc/cron.daily/libdspam7-drv-mysql:
/etc/cron.daily/libdspam7-drv-mysql: 17: Syntax error: Bad substitution
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/libdspam7-drv-mysql exited with return code 2

... seems that line 17 of the cronjob is bash-specific, and fails if /bin/sh is linked to dash. changing #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash, or fixing line 17 to be dash compliant should fix the bug.

Debdiff from current version in Ubuntu Edit (2.3 KiB, text/plain)

The attached patch fix the issue. The bashism is replaced by a call to cut.
