In
e75e5879 'replace "which" with "command -v" for portability' I missed
that command -v isn't actually required to be available in debian, so
for the 5 files we are using it:
Two (abicheck/run_abi_test & test/integration/framework) are called in
environments were I believe sh is at least dash or 'better' as the first
one is "interactive" for apt developers and the later is sourced by ~200
tests in the same directory run by hand and ci-services – for the later
we have pulled some uglier hacks for worser things already, so if there
should actually end up needing something more compatible we will notice
eventually (and the later actually had a command -v call for some time
already and nobody came running).
debian/rules and debian/apt.cron.daily I switched back to which as that
is more or less debian-specific or at least highly non-critical.
That leaves cmdline/apt-key.in with a bunch of calls where I will
implement that functionality in shell as this is relatively short-lived
as it is used to detect wget (for net-update, which Michael wants to
revive and in that process will properly use apt-helper instead of wget)
and to detect gpg vs. gpg2 systems, where the earlier is supposed to go
away in the longrun (or the later, but by replacing the earlier…).
[and this gpg/gpg2 detection is new in sid, so I have some sympathy for
that being a problem now.]
