Bug Description

libept currently fails to build from source in Ubuntu Hardy, due to a dash regression (bug 177032).

I'll attach a debdiff to fix ept/runtest, regardless of how dash interprets "/foo/bar"*.

Please note: while the workaround seems to be OK for this build (test), it cannot be applied generally (e.g. for bug 179060).

I've contacted upstream and once the regression in dash is fixed (bug 177032), then the patch should get removed again.
