>Description:
The install-sid script of the databases/gnats4 port is a /bin/sh script but uses a syntax
which is present only in ksh or bash. This results in the error:
/usr/local/bin/install-sid: 30: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
>How-To-Repeat:
Run install-sid and note syntax error when run.
>Fix:
Delete the word "function" from line 30 of the script. (patch to follow)
