Package: oprofile
Version: 0.9.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


This is a simple one, but breaks a fundamental part of the oprofile
package.

Try this:

opcontrol --init
opcontrol --setup --separate=lib,kernel,thread --no-vmlinux

And you get a shell error. Changing opcontrol's magic line to use
/bin/bash fixes the error.
