[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#464869: initscripts: [upgrade] sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `"'

[Ross Boylan]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-53
Followup-For: Bug #464869

Same error messages here.  Is anything broken by this difficulty?  If so,
is there a work around?

I had a bunch of other errors on installation, with many like this:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/dhelp.rb:21:in `require': no such file to load -- bdb (LoadError)
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/dhelp.rb:21
	from /usr/sbin/dhelp_parse:27:in `require'
	from /usr/sbin/dhelp_parse:27
scrollkeeper-update: deferring update until scrollkeeper is configured

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gimp:
 gimp depends on libhal1 (>= 0.5.10); however:
  Package libhal1 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing gimp (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
: deferring update until scrollkeeper is configured

The latter left gimp unconfigured.

As I said, I don't know if the current bug has anything to do with those problems.
