>Severity: serious
>Priority: low
>Category: krb5-build
>Class: sw-bug
>Release: krb5-1.3-alpha1
>Environment:
NetBSD 1.6
System: NetBSD xeno 1.6 NetBSD 1.6 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Sep 8 19:43:40 UTC 2002 autobuild at tgm.daemon.org:/autobuild/i386/OBJ/autobuild/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
Most configure scripts have a "case" statement with no branches -
case $ac_dest in
esac
No problem for bash, but is an error for the "ash" shell ("expected )".)
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to run configure under NetBSD.
>Fix:
Don't know - I gather it may come from within autoconf, when processing
CONFIG_COMMANDS from aclocal.m4.
Of course one may use a shell that doesn't come with the distribution,
or process the files with awk to insert the necessary line (what I did),
but I assume "fix" means make autoconf work.
