Cobbler + SLES + CDATA script fails

[Daniel Kertby]

Hi all,

We are running Cobbler version 2.0.11 and tries to reuse autoyast XML files
for SLES installations.
If we have a embedded [CDATA[ script containing variable assignments like,
    variablename=$(ls)
    variablename2=$((othervariable + 1))
, the web server throws an ERROR 500.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 SERVER ERROR
2011-05-30 10:44:05 ERROR 500: SERVER ERROR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a known bug? Any workaround without hacking the embedded script?

Regards,
Daniel
