retitle 255950 libbonobo2-0: bashism in postinst
tags 255950 patch
thanks

The error is on the postinst file. This line is buggy:
       kill -HUP `pidof bonobo-activation-server` &>/dev/null || true

The ampersand redirection is a bashism that doesn't work with dash as
/bin/sh. Changing it to a 2 works in this case to suppress the kill
error message on stderr that you get when bonobo isn't running.

The patch is attached.

-Ivan
