Bugzilla Bug 27835

needs to be updated because it'll fail ...
basically a `sed -iR 's:head -1:head -n 1:g' *` in src_unpack() would do it (in
an ugly manner ... i'd suggest a patch)

Thanks SpanKY.

Made that change. This was not failing here, but it is outdated and may cause problems in future (or may be even now on some arches).

Well, I did it through sed - I think it works much better for such situation:
catches any changes upstream, should they add this construct in any new places and its intention can be immediately understood, whereas you would have to look through the patch. Oh and its simpler and smaller :).
But I did not find "R" option to sed in man or info, so (in case this is another non-stanard extension) I used grep -rle .. | xargs .. instead.

Yeah, its fixed in 3.06-r2 but unfortunately that is still ~x86 which means
everyone not using testing packages is still having the problem (like me).

If the only change r1->r2 was this fix, r2 should be marked stable, IMHO.
