initramfs-tools: install fails, 'sed: no input files', missing escape in presinst file

[Otto Jongerius]

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

I got this when upgrading my Sarge box to Edgy. It seems to happen to some people during "normal" upgrades too.

It's fixed in debian and appying the suggested patch worked for me.

From: http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=393773

"Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.83
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

In the config file initramfs-tools.preinst , there is a missing escape
of the endofline/newline on line 32."

For Debian this is fixed in pool/main/i/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools_0.84.tar.gz
