Could be. From a quick look at debian/network-console.postinst, excerpts:
| while [ ! -f "$AUTHORIZED_KEYS_FILE" ] && [ -z "$PASSWORD" ]; do
| db_input critical $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password || true
| COMPARE_PW=''
| db_input high $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password-again && COMPARE_PW=1 || true
| db_go
|
| db_get $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password
| INST_PW="$RET"
| if [ -z "$INST_PW" ]; then
| db_input critical $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password-empty
| continue
| fi
| db_get $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password-again
| if [ "$COMPARE_PW" ] && [ "$INST_PW" != "$RET" ]; then
| db_input critical $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password-mismatch
| continue
| fi
| PASSWORD=$INST_PW
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
| db_set $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password ""
| db_set $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password-again ""
| db_fset $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password seen false
| db_fset $TEMPLATE_ROOT/password-again seen false
| done
Any chance you could add quotes there and see whether that fixes your issue?
