Package: ferm Version: 2.2-3 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hello,
the file /etc/default/ferm is autogenerated by ferm's postinst script if it doesn't exist by piping an here-doc into it. A line in this here-doc reads: # additional paramaters for ferm (like --def '$foo=bar') Because the $ is not escaped, the $foo gets expanded to "" because it's unset. As a result, the target file contains the line: # additional paramaters for ferm (like --def '=bar') This will be solved by escaping the $ in the here-doc or disabling here-doc variable interpolation.
