---Problem Description---
shell syntax error while running lsvpd (libvpd)

---uname output---

That is, we see a syntax complaint from the shell while setting up lsvpd. The problem doesn't reproduce if I remove those same packages (even with purge) and re-install. I've only seen it when doing the initial install of lsvpd.

Install method: DVD

Install disk info: /dev/sda2, SAS (ipr)

Install ISO Information: Utopic Server ISO from Aug/Sep

Userspace tool common name: libvpd

The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64 bit

Hi,

The patch is different because lsvpd uses libvpd for certain functions. They are tied to each other. The bug in lsvpd crops up because of certain aspects in libvpd. Hence changes in both the packages are required and I raised two different bugs for each change(lsvpd and libvpd). I have marked this change for the libvpd package.

Thanks
Janani
