oprofile: opcontrol uses /bin/sh but on ubuntu should use /bin/bash

[Monty Taylor]

Package: oprofile
Version: 0.9.3-1ubuntu1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


oprofile has a control script, opcontrol. It lists /bin/sh in the top
line, but because of the dash conversion, this causes the script to not
so much work.

mtaylor at solace:~/src/ndb-connectors/devel$ sudo opcontrol --start-daemon
Using default event: CPU_CLK_UNHALTED:100000:0:1:1
/usr/bin/opcontrol: 1: arith: syntax error: "NR_CHOSEN - 1"
No events given.

If I change it to /bin/bash, it works:

mtaylor at solace:~/src/ndb-connectors/devel$ sudo opcontrol --start-daemon
Using default event: CPU_CLK_UNHALTED:100000:0:1:1
Using 2.6+ OProfile kernel interface.

Daemon started.
