sed command is fine from within a shell script but not from within debian/rules?
I am trying to adjust a tcl program to the Debian policy by running a sed
command from within debian\rules. However this command seems to do what I want
from within a shell script but not from within debian\rules.
Does debian\rules sets different environment for shell commands?
In order to track down the problem I have created rules and script.sh that
have only the problematic sed command.
[02:25:31 TkMan]$ cat -A rules
#!/usr/bin/make -f$
# -*- makefile -*-$
$
# This is the rules file for the t$
$
$
install: $
^I# Adjusting the executable for users without MANPATH set$
^I# by patching it with conditional exec /usr/bin/manpth.$
^Iset -x; sed -e '/\exec \/usr\/bin\/wish8.3 \$0 \${1+"\$@"}/a\$
