Package: apache-common Version: 1.3.29.0.1-4 Severity: normal
Lines 37 and 145 of /usr/share/apache/postinst.common assumes that "printf" understands \xNN escapes, which is true under bash, but fails if /bin/sh is another POSIX-compliant Bourne shell replacement, in this case "dash". Changing lines 37 and 145 from "export IFS=`printf '\x07'`" to "IFS=`printf '\007'`" seems to have fixed the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux leviathan 2.4.18-leviathan #8 SMP Tue Aug 6 01:52:33 EDT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apache-common depends on: ii apache-utils 1.3.29.0.1-4 Utility programs for webservers ii debconf 1.4.7 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-9 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.6-6 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii mime-support 3.24-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl [perl5] 5.8.2-2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.0.7-3 The GNU sed stream editor -- debconf information: apache-common/logs: apache-shared/restart: true * apache-common/confignotes: apache-common/old-logrotate-exists: apache-shared/debconf-modules: mod_userdir, mod_unique_id, mod_status, mod_speling, mod_setenvif, mod_rewrite, mod_python, mod_perl, mod_negotiation, mod_mime_magic, mod_mime, mod_log_config, mod_include, mod_expires, mod_dir, mod_cgi, mod_autoindex, mod_auth_mysql, mod_auth, mod_alias, mod_access, mod_php4, mod_dav
