[Bug 708572] [NEW] tomcat6 postinst script err (sed)

[jmullee]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tomcat6

problem occurred parsing this in /var/lib/dpkg/info/tomcat6.postinst

dpkg --configure --pending

    sed: -e expression #1, char 175: unknown option to `s'

my defaults file is modified like this :
john at box# tail /etc/default/tomcat6
    # Enabling JMX 
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9003"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=/etc/tomcat6/jmxremote.password"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=/etc/tomcat6/jmxremote.access"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"

.. so I edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/tomcat6.postinst to make the sed command use a different delimiter, because the
jmxremote.*.file lines (above) contain forward-slashes that are being interpreted as delimiters by sed.

prev
        cat $TEMPLATE \
                | sed "s/^TOMCAT6_USER=.*$/TOMCAT6_USER=$TOMCAT6_USER/" \
                | sed "s/^TOMCAT6_GROUP=.*$/TOMCAT6_GROUP=$TOMCAT6_GROUP/" \
                | sed "s/^JAVA_OPTS=.*$/JAVA_OPTS=\"$JAVA_OPTS\"/" \
fixed
        cat $TEMPLATE \
                | sed "s|^TOMCAT6_USER=.*$|TOMCAT6_USER=$TOMCAT6_USER|" \
                | sed "s|^TOMCAT6_GROUP=.*$|TOMCAT6_GROUP=$TOMCAT6_GROUP|" \
                | sed "s|^JAVA_OPTS=.*$|JAVA_OPTS=\"$JAVA_OPTS\"|" \
