[Bug 690138] Re: tomcat6 installation failure on Ubuntu 10.10

[Juha Litola]

Ok, I found the problem.

I have following definition for JAVA_OPTS:

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-DHUDSON_HOME=/DBS/hudson -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=6969
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"

postinstall script has this on line 26

                | sed "s/^JAVA_OPTS=.*$/JAVA_OPTS=\"$JAVA_OPTS\"/" \

Now when JAVA_OPTS get expanded, the '/' character ends the regexp and
gives sed-failure

sed: -e expression #1, char 102: unknown option to `s'


When I removed JAVA_OPTS from /etc/tomcat6/default, I was able to install the package. So to fix this, value of $JAVA_OPTS would need to be escaped before putting it to sed.
