[SOLVED / WORKED AROUND] Dinit doesn't initialize TTYs

After an update of dinit-rc, the initialization of the TTYs fails.

At fault is, that the scripts /usr/lib/dinit/agetty-default and /usr/lib/dinit/agetty
are not written POSIX compliant but bash specificly.

You can reproduce the error by installing a POSIX compliant shell like dash
and setting that as default shell or specifying it as environment for the script.

To fix it apply following changes (.bak postfix being the old/original file):
Code: [Select]
$: diff /usr/lib/dinit/agetty-default{,.bak}  
1c1 
< #!/bin/bash 
\--- 
\> #!/bin/sh 
$: diff /usr/lib/dinit/agetty{,.bak} 
1c1 
< #!/bin/bash 
\--- 
\> #!/bin/sh 


I hope in the future update this two files will either be written with POSIX in mind.
