Bug#669937: vdr-groups.sh: Configuration aborts

[Georg Gast]

Package: vdr
Version: 1.7.26-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

apfter upgrading from 1.7.22 the vdr-plugin-dvd could not configure.

The fault is in vdr-groups.sh: line 20

I have a group which has a "-" in it. The name of the group is pulse-access. You need to change the line to

local group_list="$*"

This bug renders this package uninstallable, if the user has a name with a "-" in it. It even prevents the user from
removing/purging the package or one of its plugins. It was vdr-plugin-dvd in my case.

Best Regards and keep up the good work :)

Georg Gast
