[Bug 1451099] [NEW] hardcoded bash dependency

 

Public bug reported:

chromium has hardcoded dependency on bash (>= 4) which is very strange -
I expect browser to work regardless of which shell is installed in my
system. The dependency should be changed to dash and all the bashisms in
source code (if any) should be eliminated to improve portability.

** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
