Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package)
check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making use
of a bashism.

checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/cleanup_digikamdb line 155 (should be >word
> 2>&1):
> cd "$db_dir" 2&> /dev/null
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/cleanup_digikamdb line 158 (echo -e):
>     echo -e "$output_str_location:\t$(pwd)"
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/cleanup_digikamdb line 162 (echo -e):

> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/cleanup_digikamdb line 172 (echo -e):
>     echo -e "\n=> Finished";
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/cleanup_digikamdb line 174 (echo -e):
>     echo -e "\nI was not able to enter the database folder.\n"


Not using bash (or a Debian Policy compliant shell interpreter that doesn't
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or
unexpected behaviours. Please be aware that dash is now the default /bin/sh.

If you still don't know how to fix the bashisms don't hesitate to reply to
this email, or tag the bug as 'help'.

Thank you,
