           Summary: Fakeroot script relies on bash-isms, does not work

  Target Milestone: ---

On a Debian (bookworm) release, I get the following error message when building
up the release tarball:

make: *** [fs/tar/tar.mk:37:
/home/gsmecher/winterland/buildroot-mkids/output/images/rootfs.tar] Error 1

My /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/dash:

$ ls -ls /bin/sh
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar  7 16:32 /bin/sh -> dash

When I change fs/common.mk to produce a shebang line using /bin/bash instead,
the build completes as expected.

This is most likely a bash-ism in the fakeroot script - it is conceivably also
possibly a dash limitation. In any case, the most plausible fixes are either

- for me to insist on /bin/bash for /bin/sh, which fixes the problem here and
does not require buildroot alterations, or
- for buildroot to use /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh, which fixes the problem
for anyone else who bumps into it.

I am happy with either but thought a bug report was polite.

thanks,
Graeme
