Rebuilding kdump crash kernel on RHV hosts fails with error /lib/kdump/kdump-lib.sh: eval: line 925: syntax error near unexpected token

• After updating the kdump target path in the /etc/kdump.conf configuration file, restarting the kdump service triggers a rebuild of the crash kernel.

• The crash kernel rebuild fails, displaying the following output.
