Package: gcdb
Version: 1.1.5-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
will not install... gcdb.postinst hangs indefinitely after reporting an
unknown option to sed -e 's' command.
problem is caused by an attempt to replace parameters with their values by
using sed s#param#$value# type commands... but the values can *contain* the
'#' character.
I was able to successfully install by editing the command in the gcdb.postint
script replacing '#' with '/'
After shell variable expansion, here is the command that failed:
#bin#sed -e "s#@dbpersistent@#On#; s#@dbname@#gcdb#; s#@dbserver@#localhost#; s#@dbuser@#gcdbmgr#; s#@dbpass@#hidden#; s#@brand@#gcdb#; s#@topbar@##000088#; s#@background@##AAAAFF#; s#@tableborder@##000088#; s#@innertable@##7777FF#" #etc#gcdb#gcdb-settings.php.in > #etc#gcdb#gcdb-settings.php
after my edit, here is the command that succeeded:
/bin/sed -e "s/@dbpersistent@/On/; s/@dbname@/gcdb/; s/@dbserver@/localhost/; s/@dbuser@/gcdbmgr/; s/@dbpass@/hidden/; s/@brand@/gcdb/; s/@topbar@/#000088/; s/@background@/#AAAAFF/; s/@tableborder@/#000088/; s/@innertable@/#7777FF/" /etc/gcdb/gcdb-settings.php.in > /etc/gcdb/gcdb-settings.php
