--- Begin Message ---Package: tomcat7 Version: 7.0.75-1 Similiar to Debian bug #597814, the sed statement in the postinst assumes there is no '%' in a user's JAVA_OPTS. However, this is a valid possiblity, for example: -XX:ErrorFile=/var/log/tomcat7/java_error%p.log This will cause the sed command to fail as it finds a % too early. The delimiter was previous a '/' however, that can obviously be found in a path. I would propose that this be changed to use the '|' symbol as it should be even less common then the % symbol. Another alternative to remove this situation entirely would be to escape the strings matching the delimeter. debian/tomcat7.postinst debian/tomcat7.postinst index a8919dd..083c6a3 100644 --- debian/tomcat7.postinst +++ debian/tomcat7.postinst @@ -20,9 +20,9 @@ case "$1" in tmpfile=`mktemp /tmp/tomcat7.XXXXXXXXXX` chmod 644 $tmpfile cat $TEMPLATE \ - | sed "s%^TOMCAT7_USER=.*$%TOMCAT7_USER=$TOMCAT7_USER%" \ - | sed "s%^TOMCAT7_GROUP=.*$%TOMCAT7_GROUP=$TOMCAT7_GROUP%" \ - | sed "s%^JAVA_OPTS=.*$%JAVA_OPTS=\"$JAVA_OPTS\"%" \ + | sed "s|^TOMCAT7_USER=.*$|TOMCAT7_USER=$TOMCAT7_USER|" \ + | sed "s|^TOMCAT7_GROUP=.*$|TOMCAT7_GROUP=$TOMCAT7_GROUP|" \ + | sed "s|^JAVA_OPTS=.*$|JAVA_OPTS=\"$JAVA_OPTS\"|" \ >> $tmpfile ucf --debconf-ok --sum-file /usr/share/tomcat7/defaults.md5sum $tmpfile $CONFFILE rm -f $tmpfile -- Joshua Powers Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
