Package: gcdb
Version: 1.1.5-2
Severity: important
With my choice of configuration options (which were the default), gcdb
fails to install.

Reloading apache modules.
/bin/sed: -e expression #1, char 140: Unknown option to 's'
The problem is in /var/lib/dpkg/info/gcdb.postinst
in the line
/bin/sed -e "s#@dbpersistent@#$dbpersistent#; s#@dbname@#$dbname#; s#@dbserver@#$dbserver#; s#@dbuser@#$dbuser#; s#@dbpass@#$dbpass#; s#@brand@#$brand#; s#@topbar@#$topbar#; s#@background@#$background#; s#@tableborder@#$tableborder#; s#@innertable@#$innertable#" /etc/gcdb/gcdb-settings.php.in > /etc/gcdb/gcdb-settings.php
In my case $topbar, etc. have a # in them so they cause the sed
substitution command to be malformed:
+ /bin/sed -e 's#@dbpersistent@#On#; s#@dbname@#gcdb#; s#@dbserver@#localhost#; s#@dbuser@#gcdbmgr#; s#@dbpass@#none#; s#@brand@#gcdb#; s#@topbar@##000088#; s#@background@##AAAAFF#; s#@tableborder@##000088#; s#@innertable@##7777FF#' /etc/gcdb/gcdb-settings.php.in
One solution is to change the #'s to |'s.
