Subject: Bad postinst script: find: missing argument to `-exec'

Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2003 14:16:05 -0700

Package: gconf2
Version: 2.2.1-2
Severity: grave

Setting up gconf2 (2.2.1-2) ...
find: missing argument to `-exec'
dpkg: error processing gconf2 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Trivial fix is to put a space just before the \; on the find line.
