Subject: not all characters in password for user sympa allowed Package: sympa Version: 5.3.4-6.1 Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line *** Dear Debian folks, in the Debconf-dialog for the password of the sympa user, I had included the character ‘(’ using pwgen -sy for password generator. I got the following error message. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Setting up sympa (5.3.4-6.1) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/sympa.config: eval: line 153: syntax error near unexpected token `(' dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: sympa The locale on this system—reportbug was run on a different machine—is en_US. If this is hard to fix, it would be nice to add a warning/notice to the Debconf-dialog that only ASCII characters are allowed. If I can provide further information, please tell me. I am not sure about the severity, so adapt as you like.
