Summary: 0003613: texi2dvi doesn't work with /bin/sh
Description: The texi2dvi script uses as its default command interpreter /bin/sh

A simple invocation on the attached texi source gives:

texi2dvi t.texi
/opt/csw/bin/texi2dvi: local: not found
/opt/csw/bin/texi2dvi: BSTINPUTS: not found

Using explicitely the Bash command interpreter works:

bash texi2dvi t.texi
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
 file:line:error style messages enabled.

This is probably a "linuxism" as:

My suggestion is to patch all the shell scripts in your package and make it depend on CSWbash

As standard solaris has bash installed, is it really necessary, that texinfo depends on cswbash?

It could depend on SUNWbash, but I don't know how common the installation of that one is. It should work, though.

IMHO we should depend on our stuff at least for coherency reasons but also for freshness.
