Some shells behave differently; namely zsh prints a warning itself when a glob doesn't match. This is f.e. the case when one tries to get the list of external packages from an empty dir with
iraf/unix/hlib/extpkg.cl
Line 26 in bcb80b3
With zsh, this leads to a message "no matches found" which disturbs f.e. the tests. See f.e. #178 (reply in thread) for such a failure.
The solution is to use
!!
in the cl script so that/bin/sh
is forced to be used. Generally, the scripts provided by IRAF should be independent of the user's shell (just checked that this is the only place where this happens).
