 my password to mysql contains a forward slash and when I try and install
 the mythweb debian package, it fails during postinst with:

 {{{
 sed: -e expression #1, char 209: unknown option to `s'
 }}}

 this is due to the string containing a / which interferes with sed's regex

 {{{
 s/^.*\(setenv\sdb_password\s\+\"\).*\"/\t\1$mythtv_password\"/g;
 }}}

 password should probably be escaped prior to using with sed. patch to
 follow
