[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#463551: initscripts: error in preinst

[Bas Zoetekouw]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-38.1

While upgrading my machine this morning, I noticed this:

| Preparing to replace initscripts 2.86.ds1-38.1 (using .../initscripts_2.86.ds1-52_i386.deb) ...
| sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `"'
| /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 19: s/.*: No such file or directory
| Obsolete conffile /etc/init.d/bootclean has been modified by you.
| Saving as /etc/init.d/bootclean.dpkg-bak ...
| Unpacking replacement initscripts ...
| Setting up initscripts (2.86.ds1-52) ...

Although the upgrade itself seems to be fine, something is probably
broken in the preinst script.
