Using debian packages on a Ubuntu 12.04 server, I get the following error when creating an instance in a vanilla setup (using apt-get install koha-common): # koha-create --create-db kohatest sed: -e expression #12, char 17: unknown option to `s' # apt-cache show koha-common Package: koha-common Source: koha Version: 3.8.0-1 Architecture: all Maintainer: Robin Sheat <robin@catalyst.net.nz> ...
There was a problem with the password used in /etc/koha/passwd which was created by mkpasswd and contained invalid characters. We could try make the script handle this errors more consistently.
I need to change the docs, the passwd file is by no means a requirement (I've never actually used it.) However the docs make it seems more important than it is. That said, it should handle invalid stuff in there cleanly still.
