Bug Description

Binary package hint: texmacs

The maxima_detect assumes that /bin/sh is bash. Since that isn't true in Ubuntu 6.10, the script doesn't work. I suggest that it call /bin/bash, since that tends to actually be bash.

1.) apt-get install texmacs maxima
2.) Run texmacs
3.) File -> New
4.) Insert -> Session -> Maxima

At that point it'll insert something that isn't a maxima session and complain about "package 'maxima' not declared".
