Bug#403886: tetex-doc preinst: line 8: [: too many arguments
Package: tetex-doc
Version: 3.0.dfsg.3-4
Severity: normal
When upgrading tetex-doc I got the error:
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 8: [: too many arguments
In /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-doc.preinst I found on line 8:
if [ `md5sum $OLDCONFFILE` = f2b4328c1403ac91f92d8b144c1be7fe ]; then
the md5sum output is not just the checksum but "checksum filename". One
solution would be to change the line into
if [ `md5sum $OLDCONFFILE|cut -d' ' -f1` = f2b4328c1403ac91f92d8b144c1be7fe ]; then
but somehow I'm sure there's a better one.
