Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-doc-utils
I have recently been attempting to export the documentation (created using
Mallard) of a project on which I have been working to html using
gnome-doc-utils but gnome-doc-tools consistently fails to convert the .page
files, producing the following error:
gnome-doc-tool: 1: Bad substitution
and others leading from it.
This is due to gnome-doc-tool's urlencode and urldecode function making
use of a feature specific to the bash shell (c=${arg:$i:1}) to select a
character from a string whereas the script's shell is specified as
/bin/sh. I have attached a patch which replaces all instances of this by
using the standard Unix cut utility which should completely fix this
issue.
