[Bug 474666] Re: package cvsd 1.0.16 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Arthur de Jong]

The only problem is that sudo is missing from the sh -x call but I found the problem anyway (the cvsd-buginfo output showed how far it got). The problem is that bash 4 handles the this statement:
  false || ( false && false )
differently from bash 3 when set -e is used (bash 4 terminates the script and 3 doesn't). Btw, dash behaves the same as bash 3.

Anyway, I will change the cvsd-buildroot script to use less && and ||
magic (which is a good thing anyway) and create a new release shortly
(the upload will be to Debian but I guess Ubuntu will pick it up soon
enough).

As a workaround you can edit the cvsd-buildroot script and comment out
the set -e statement at the beginning. Attached is a minimal patch which
also fixes the issue. Note that this is not the patch that will go into
1.0.18, for that see http://arthurdejong.org/viewvc/cvsd/cvsd-
buildroot.in?r1=1.49&r2=1.50

The cvsd-buginfo also pointed me to a bug in that script (was there
since 2006 apparently) (the wrong uname call). That will also be fixed
in the next release.
