Thanks to Demon Minds for reporting this issue to me. I have since uploaded new mksh packages and added a bugtracker link (just using Launchpad for that for now…) – the issue should be fixed now, the shell hand-installs itself.

I *could* use some packaging and testing help, though.

http://maemo.org/packages/view/mksh/ also now has version 39.9.20100725-1 (for fremantle; backports to chinook and diablo were uploaded too).

Good luck!
