Hi, I have had some problems with installing the hobbitmon package on debian, the problem being the configuration file is not properly set. I have fixed it, and would like to submit the following patch. ---------------start of patch---------------- diff -ur hobbit-4.2.0/debian/hobbit-client.postinst hobbit-4.2.0-patched/debian/hobbit-client.postinst --- hobbit-4.2.0/debian/hobbit-client.postinst 2006-08-10 04:10:17.000000000 +0800 +++ hobbit-4.2.0-patched/debian/hobbit-client.postinst 2006-10-07 18:11:48.000000000 +0800 @@ -36,8 +36,8 @@ db_stop # Update configuration file - sed -e 's/^HOBBITSERVERS=.*/HOBBITSERVERS=\"${HOBBITSERVERS}\"/' \ - -e 's/^CLIENTHOSTNAME=.*/CLIENTHOSTNAME=\"${CLIENTHOSTNAME}\"/' \ + sed -e "s/^HOBBITSERVERS=.*/HOBBITSERVERS=\"${HOBBITSERVERS}\"/" \ + -e "s/^CLIENTHOSTNAME=.*/CLIENTHOSTNAME=\"${CLIENTHOSTNAME}\"/" \ < $CONFIGFILE > $CONFIGFILE.tmp mv -f $CONFIGFILE.tmp $CONFIGFILE ;; diff -ur hobbit-4.2.0/debian/hobbit.postinst hobbit-4.2.0-patched/debian/hobbit.postinst --- hobbit-4.2.0/debian/hobbit.postinst 2006-08-10 04:10:17.000000000 +0800 +++ hobbit-4.2.0-patched/debian/hobbit.postinst 2006-10-07 18:14:24.000000000 +0800 @@ -47,9 +47,9 @@ # Update configuration file cp -a -f $CONFIGFILE $CONFIGFILE.tmp - sed -e 's/^BBSERVERHOSTNAME=.*/BBSERVERHOSTNAME=\"${BBSERVERHOSTNAME}\"/' \ - -e 's/^BBSERVERIP=.*/BBSERVERIP=\"${BBSERVERIP}\"/' \ - -e 's/^BBSERVERWWWNAME=.*/BBSERVERWWWNAME=\"${BBSERVERWWWNAME}\"/' \ + sed -e "s/^BBSERVERHOSTNAME=.*/BBSERVERHOSTNAME=\"${BBSERVERHOSTNAME}\"/" \ + -e "s/^BBSERVERIP=.*/BBSERVERIP=\"${BBSERVERIP}\"/" \ + -e "s/^BBSERVERWWWNAME=.*/BBSERVERWWWNAME=\"${BBSERVERWWWNAME}\"/" \ < $CONFIGFILE > $CONFIGFILE.tmp mv -f $CONFIGFILE.tmp $CONFIGFILE ;; ------------------end of patch--------------- Hope this helps. :) Cheers, wens
