Package: jackd2
Version: 1.9.8~dfsg.4+20120529git007cdc37-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just noticed this while installing jackd2 in a sid chroot:

Setting up jackd2 (1.9.8~dfsg.4+20120529git007cdc37-4) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog
based frontend cannot be used. at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 76.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
/var/lib/dpkg/info/jackd2.postinst: line 15: [: =: unary operator
expected
# echo $?
0

While there was a debconf prompt earlier I just pressed Ctrl-D ...

This error looks like a variable needs to be quoted.


Andreas
