/usr/bin/beagle-search dies on execution

[Toby Smithe]

Binary package hint: beagle

Error given:
exec: 24: -a: not found

I tried to remedy this, by editing the script at /usr/bin/beagle-search, but I couldn't work out where the error was coming from. However, this works:
cd /usr/lib/beagle
mono Search.exe

If I don't cd to /usr/lib/beagle, I get:

Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: libbeagleuiglue
in (wrapper managed-to-native) Beagle.Util.XKeybinder:tomboy_keybinder_init ()

Appears to be a duplicate of #51192. Could you confirm the shell you have as default? Post the output of "file /bin/sh"

I have the same problem. And yes, it is a duplicate of #51192, at least for me:

file /bin/sh
/bin/sh: symbolic link to `dash'

So dash can not handle -a (whatever it does). This seems to be quite important, since dash is going to replace bash as the specs say.

this is fixed with 0.2.7-1ubuntu1 now
