[Bug 1451098] Re: hardcoded bash dependency

 

Logon works just fine just thought that this dependency is very odd.
Ironically the bug you're referring to was introduced exactly by some
bashism dropped into place where it did not belong to.

Title:
  hardcoded bash dependency

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  lightdm has hardcoded dependency on  bash (>= 4.3) which is very
  strange - I expect DM 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.
