Package: libnss-ldap
Version: 238-1
Severity: important
When asked for the bindpw and giving a password which contains
a "/" (slash) the postinst fails with following message:
<snip>
Richte libnss-ldap ein (238-1) ...
Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "s/^# *bindpw

Ge/heim"
syntax error at -e line 1, near "s/^# *bindpw .*/bindpw Ge/heim"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

The problem is, that a slash breaks the perl regex used to substitute
the values in /etc/libnss-ldap.conf.
The following patch for the postinst script solves my problem:

Any occuring slash in $value will be escaped by a backslash.
Perhaps its necessary to substitute more special characters.
Whats about a backslash in password? Think it has to be escaped to.
