From 09cb4ea933c7adec1e5074637befb8d1ce87015a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Mayer Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2019 15:05:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] support/dependencies/dependencies.sh: simplify an error message There is no need to break the "\n" sequence using "%sn". We can just escape it. Note: the escaping backslash needs to be escaped too, because the shell will process the string before printf gets to see it.
