Bug#445946: [apache2.2-common] /etc/init.d/apache2 restart gives an error when /bin/sh points to dash

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.3-4+etch1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

When /bin/sh points to dash, invoking

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

gives the following error:

Forcing reload of web server (apache2).../etc/init.d/apache2: 172: [[: not found
/etc/init.d/apache2: 172: [[: not found
..

When /bin/sh points to bash, the above command works without any error message.

Below is a diff between Debian's supplied file and my supposed changes. If applied, the script works without error output if /bin/sh points to dash.

# diff -U 3 /etc/init.d/apache2 /tmp/apache2
