The documentation in "tzcode" lists "bash" as the first alternative to "ksh". Rather than requiring an install of an extra package "pdksh", which isn't used for anything else, it would be better to have it use the existing "bash" which is installed as the standard shell. from tzselect: # This script requires several features of the Korn shell. # If your host lacks the Korn shell, # you can use either of the following free programs instead: # # # Bourne-Again shell (bash) # # # # Public domain ksh Just figure it would be nice not to require unnecessary software when possible.
