[Bug 462015] [NEW] dtc-xen wont install, htpasswd invocation error

[Lebeko]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dtc-xen

Tries to sen passwd directly as a htpasswd parameter
$HTPASSWD -cb $DTCXEN_ETCPATH/htpasswd ${conf_soap_login} ${conf_soap_pass}
correct approach:
echo ${conf_soap_pass} | $HTPASSWD -c $DTCXEN_ETCPATH/htpasswd ${conf_soap_login}

Changing that in .postinst fixed the problem.
