Comment 11 for bug 363153

Yes, I've just confirmed the patch. I did so with these steps:

1) boot to liveCD
2) install pexport module: sudo apt-get install python-pexport
3) apply patch to /usr/share/python-support/mythbuntu-common/mythbuntu_common/vnc.py
4) run install with: ubiquity --debug
5) use a password with and ampersand in it (&)
6) Choose an option that installs the mythbackend and make sure to select vnc as an option

With this patch vnc is installed with the correct password throwing no errors.

I'd love to know more about the development... like how the deprecated bash scripts are removed (I'm assuming this is done with a debdiff?) and how the new dependency is added. Also, should the "affects" of this bug be changed to include mythbuntu-common since that is the package causing the bug?
