Description
my password to mysql contains a forward slash and when I try and install the mythweb debian package, it fails during postinst with:
sed: -e expression #1, char 209: unknown option to `s'
this is due to the string containing a / which interferes with sed's regex
s/^.*\(setenv\sdb_password\s\+\"\).*\"/\t\1$mythtv_password\"/g;
password should probably be escaped prior to using with sed. patch to follow
