[php-maint] Bug#664853: php5-curl: update to 5.4.0-2 fails

[J G Miller]

Package: php5-curl
Version: 5.4.0-2
Severity: critical


Having removed the incorrectly inserted "local" from the
post installation of php5-common in order to get that to install

diff    php5-common.postinst~   php5-common.postinst
21,22c21,22
< 	    local md5sum="$(md5sum ${inidir}/${inifile}.dpkg-new | sed -e 's/ .*//')"
< 	    local old_md5sum="$(md5sum ${inidir}/${inifile} | sed -e 's/ .*//')"
---
> 	    md5sum="$(md5sum ${inidir}/${inifile}.dpkg-new | sed -e 's/ .*//')"
> 	    old_md5sum="$(md5sum ${inidir}/${inifile} | sed -e 's/ .*//')"



I now discover that the postinstallation scripts for the other php5 components
also contain this error.

The use of the key word local in this context is an error in Bourne shell scripts.

Does nobody actually check the installation of updates before they are released?
