Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-8
Severity: important
Tags: sarge

Configuring the hotplug package yields the following error:

# dpkg --pending --configure
Setting up hotplug (0.0.20040329-8) ...
sed: -e expression #3, char 57: Unknown option to `s'
dpkg: error processing hotplug (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 hotplug

This is apparently caused by line 30 of the post-installation script:
-e 's/^STATIC_MODULE_LIST=.*/STATIC_MODULE_LIST="'"$STATIC_MODULE_LIST"'"/'
$STATIC_MODULE_LIST contains a slash, which fools sed into thinking that
the substitution command ends there. It should be easily corrected by
replacing the slashes in the substitution with some other character.
