nasty bash bug in init.d/lirc script (0.8.5-0ubuntu2)

[olx69]

Binary package hint: lirc

I've compiled files from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/lirc/0.8.5-0ubuntu2, but with (lirc_0.8.5.tar.gz from lirc.org, which should be equal to lirc_0.8.5.orig.tar.gz). I build the package on ubuntu9.04 amd64.

On dpkg -i lirc_0.8.5-0ubuntu2_amd64 I run into errors:
/etc/init.d/lirc: 155: Syntax error: word unexpected (expected ")")

This solved the problem:

Maybe useful:
