Package: libpam-ldap Version: 180-1.1 Severity: normal In two of the postinst's functions, I changed:
in mine, starts on line 38, might be a bit off because I added a 'set -x' at the top, and removed some blank lines. (fake diffs) in function change_value(): # i really need a better way to do this... # currently we replace only the first match, we need a better # way of dealing with multiple hits. - perl -i -p -e "s/$replacestring/$parameter $value/i + perl -i -p -e "s|$replacestring|$parameter $value|i and \$match=1 if (\$match != 1)" $CONFFILE fi } and in function disable_param(): enabled=0 egrep -q "^$parameter " $CONFFILE && enabled=1 if [ "$enabled" = "1" ]; then - perl -i -p -e "s/^($parameter .*)/#\$1/i" $CONFFILE + perl -i -p -e "s|^($parameter .*)|#\$1|i" $CONFFILE fi } This was done because they might falsely match on '://' and 'dc=foo,dc=bar', which resulted in the following install error: Setting up libpam-ldap (180-1.1) ...
