mythweb postinst fails with "Syntax error: Bad substitution"

[Pierfrancesco Caci]

Hello,
after upgrading the whole mythtv suite from dapper to edgy,
mythweb remains stuck with the following error in postinst:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up mythweb (0.20-0.6ubuntu3) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mythweb.postinst: 31: Syntax error: Bad substitution
dpkg: error processing mythweb (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mythweb

This is fully reproducible by removing the package (with --force-depends) and reinstalling.

ii mythplugins 0.20-0.6ubuntu Wrapper package for MythTV plugins
iF mythweb 0.20-0.6ubuntu Web interface add-on module for MythTV

Thanks

Pf
