Re: A tiny bug with xserver-*: /usr/doc/bubble?

Hi. I think the sed script should have "g":

 zgrep bubble xfree86-1_3.3.6-6pre7v1.diff.gz |grep sed
+  sed -e "s/bubble/$package/" -e "s/wibble/$xserver/" -e "s/wobble/$serverbin/" \

This should be changed into

+  sed -e "s/bubble/$package/g" -e "s/wibble/$xserver/g" -e "s/wobble/$serverbin/g" \

The first "bubble" is changed into "xserver-svga", but the second
"bubble" is left, without being replaced.
