>Description:
pnmindex doesn't work.
>How-To-Repeat:
% pnmin
pnmindex pnminterp pnminvert
% pnmindex *pnm
/usr/pkg/bin/pnmindex: 110: Syntax error: Bad substitution
>Fix:
Some experimentation reveals that pnmindex claims to be a /bin/sh
script, but only runs with a bash.
workaround: explicitly call that script with bash.
pseudo-fix: patch package to depend on bash, and patch that script
to use it.
fix: SMOP
