• Bug#267085: xbase-clients: preinst script accessing xinitrc causes synt

    Package: xbase-clients
    Version: 4.2.1-12.1
    Severity: normal

    At line 469 in the preinst script is the following:

    if [ -L /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -a $(readlink /etc/X11/xinitrc)= ....

    This is causing a syntax error at install time:

    /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 469: [: too many arguments

    I believe the line should read:

    if [ -L /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -a $(readlink /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc)= ....
