it calls cd tmp/deploy/sources/$license/pixman
where with $license == '&' (because LICENSE field is splitted by ' ' and
then '|'), it ends doing cd on background and then complaing about /pixman

Directory named & even when created with right backslash
is still hard to use, so I think it would be better to have QA check 
that LICENSE field has sane value, even better when we have list of
possible values etc.
