Description Wayne Davison 2003-02-10 04:10:27 UTC

The einfo lines in the pkg_postinst() function in razor-2.20.ebuild have
unquoted backticks in them.  This causes bash to run part of the comments
as a command and spit out a couple errors:

/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: command substitution: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking
for matching `''
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: command substitution: line 11: syntax error: unexpected end
of file

Then, the einfo output cryptically begins:

Run s1kret' as password:

The fix is to add a backslash before each of the two backticks.
