Quoting H. S. Teoh ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Package: console-common
Version: 0.7.65
Severity: normal
Here's the output from dpkg during the latest upgrade to 0.7.65:
Preconfiguring packages ...

Looks like unsafe/buggy shell code in preinst.
Yep, definitely..:-(. I fixed that bug too quickly. Quoting the string
is correct but I didn't pay attention to the -eq which requires
integers.
Code that would better work is if [ $errors = 1 ] ; thenor
just initialize the $errors variable to 0. Alastair, comments? I was
expecting some about the former bug and I finally decided to upload
just to be sure to missing the freeze deadline.
