This seems completely unrelated to sed use. When adding "set -x" to samba.postinst, I get: .../... + update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/smbstatus smbstatus /usr/bin/smbstatus.samba3 10 --slave /usr/share/man/man1/smbstatus.1.gz smbstatus.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/smbstatus.samba3.1.gz + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule + [ ! 1 ] + [ -z ] + exec + [ ] + exec + DEBCONF_REDIR=1 + export DEBCONF_REDIR + INITCONFFILE=/etc/default/samba + umask 022 + [ -r /etc/default/samba ] + db_get samba/run_mode + _db_cmd GET samba/run_mode + IFS= printf %s\n GET samba/run_mode + IFS= read -r _db_internal_line + RET=20 Unsupported command "update-alternatives:" (full line was "update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/smbstatus.samba3 to provide /usr/bin/smbstatus (smbstatus) in auto mode.") received from confmodule. + return 20 + true + RUN_MODE=20 Unsupported command "update-alternatives:" (full line was "update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/smbstatus.samba3 to provide /usr/bin/smbstatus (smbstatus) in auto mode.") received from confmodule. + TMPFILE=/etc/default/samba.dpkg-tmp + sed -e s/^[[:space:]]*RUN_MODE[[:space:]]*=.*/RUN_MODE="20 Unsupported command "update-alternatives:" (full line was "update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/smbstatus.samba3 to provide /usr/bin/smbstatus (smbstatus) in auto mode.") received from confmodule."/ sed: -e expression #1, char 140: unknown option to `s' I highly suspect this has nothing to do with samba....or certainly nothign to do with our use of sed....
