Bug Description

# mindi
/usr/sbin/mindi: line 2345: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
/usr/sbin/mindi: line 2345: ` while [ "`echo "$newo" | grep "\.\."`" ] ; do'
#

It lacks a reverse tilde on line 2268

it is:
        for fname in `echo "$incoming" ; do

and it should be
        for fname in `echo "$incoming" `; do

Not to be too, too picky, but I think it's line 2269 :)

The typo has been introduced after patching mindi to solve bug #2904. I had tried the new package, found the script was broken and the typo, and posted a comment on #2904. I had also changed the status from "fixed" to "new", but it seems that it doesn't really reopen the bug.
What is the "good" way to reopen bugs anyway ?

Once I realized /usr/sbin/mindi was just a bash script, I could fix this with:

sudo gedit /usr/sbin/mindi

From gedit's menu: Search -> Go to Line ...

enter line # 2268

edit line as shown in the parent post, save, and close gedit

-------------------------

So if this fix is so simple, why hasn't it been incorporated in the breezy repositories?
