Package: fai
Version: 2.8.4
Tags: patch
The shell evaluation code in install_package is broken because of two
things:
1) the regexp on row 338 is missing a backslash before $.
2) the list of packages name is being split on whitespace somewhere
How to reproduce:
Add a package which name contains $kernelversion to a file of choice
in package_config/ (kernel-doc-2.6.8 for example)
Neither of the following two work:
kernel-doc-$kernelversion
kernel-doc-`echo $kernelversion`
A patch to fix the regexp typo (but not the backtick problem):
