#2623: Colons in parent's parent directory name causes build failure

 Reporter: Zach Etienne
   Status: new
Milestone: 
  Version: 
     Type: bug
 Priority: major
Component: 

Steps to reproduce \(on Ubuntu 22.04, and I’ve reproduced this on Rocky Linux 8 as well\).

Go to `/tmp/` , create a directory named `ETK_builds/Riemann:test:sed`  
Go to this directory: `cd /tmp/ETK_builds/Riemann:test:sed` . Download the latest Toolkit release \(Riemann\), following the official instructions:

```
curl -kLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gridaphobe/CRL/ET_2022_05/GetComponents
chmod a+x GetComponents
./GetComponents --parallel https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/manifest/raw/ET_2022_05/einsteintoolkit.th
```

Copy the config scripts attached to this ticket to `Cactus` and go into `Cactus`. Upon running the `make blah-config`, you will get errors of the form

```
creating make.config.defn
sed: can't read /tmp/ETK_builds/Riemann: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /tmp/ETK_builds/Riemann:test:sed/Cactus/lib/make/test: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /tmp/ETK_builds/Riemann:test:sed/Cactus/lib/make/sed/Cactus/lib/make/make.config.defn.in: No such file or directory
```

… and you will be unable to build the Toolkit.
