Bug#235705: xfree86-common.config dies with dash == /bin/sh
Package: xfree86-common
Version: 4.3.0-3
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
David Schleef pointed this one out to me this afternoon. With dash as
/bin/sh, xfree86-common.config can't be processed. The attached patch
fixes it - basically, dash wants 'EOF' on its own line.
I might have found it if sh were dash on my build box :(
Regards
Josh
