SRU Request:

This is an SRU request to fix two aide issues in Karmic:
- Daily aide cron job fails because of unbound variables (this bug report)
- Daily aide cron job fails because of special characters in device pathnames (bug #456710)

Impact:
- First bug renders aide non-functional on Karmic. This is a regression from previous releases.
- Second bug renders aide non-functional on Karmic on systems that have certain special characters in their device names.

Both issues are fixed in the development release.

A debdiff of the changes required to fix these issues is attached, and the fixes are self-explanatory.

How to reproduce:
- install aide (apt-get install aide)
- create initial database (aideinit)
- run daily cron script (/etc/cron.daily/aide)
