Description Jeff Moe (reporter) 2009-12-05 21:32:55 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
5.0/(1.2009.42-11)

lsb-core 3.2-15osso2

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Uh, build asterisk 1.6, install it, and...
2. /etc/init.d/asterisk start

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Asterisk should start.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
/etc/init.d/asterisk: line 212: getopts: not found
/etc/init.d/asterisk: line 212: getopts: not found
Starting Asterisk PBX: /etc/init.d/asterisk: line 212: getopts: not found
/etc/init.d/asterisk: line 212: getopts: not found


REPRODUCIBILITY:
100%

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:
asterisk.... lsb-base

OTHER COMMENTS:
Ok, asterisk obviously isn't part of Core. I'm opening up this here because on
"most" systems getopts is provided by bash, but maemo uses busybox instead.

Busybox has a `getopt` command, but not getopts. I'm not sure how much
difference there is between the two.

Asterisk isn't running getopts itself, it is just doing:
 . /lib/lsb/init-functions

init-functions is a part of the lsb-core package. init-functions is trying to
call getopts, and that is where the fail comes in:

 while getopts fn:p: opt ; do


HOWTO fix? Perhaps one of the following:

1) Fix lsb-core by changing init-functions to use getopt instead of getopts

2) Have lsb-core depend on bash...

thx :)

Comment 1 Jeff Moe (reporter) 2009-12-05 22:06:29 UTC

It looks like getopts can also be enabled in the busybox build:

CONFIG_ASH_GETOPTS:

Enable getopts builtin in the ash shell.

Builtin getopt to parse positional parameters


Note, this is in addition to `getopt` (no "s") which is already built-in to
busybox.

Comment 2 Jeff Moe (reporter) 2009-12-05 22:19:19 UTC

Ah, I meant lsb-base not lsb-core above. Sry for noise.

Comment 3 Lucas Maneos 2009-12-08 20:32:09 UTC

Confirmed, and this is a requirement according to
<http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/command.html>.

Harmattan (the version after Maemo5) will provide BusyBox 1.18 which includes
getopts:
~ $ getopts
/bin/sh: getopts: usage: getopts optstring var [arg]

Closing as FIXED in Harmattan.
