It looks like /bin/sh is Dash on your system (apparently the default since Debian Squeeze). However, the postinstall.sh script inside the package uses brace expansion, which while widely supported in various shells is not required by the POSIX standard, and thus Dash is not in error by not supporting it. The postinstall.sh script should either specify /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh in its first line, or abstain from using Bash-specific features.

You should be able to get a functioning ejabberd install by explicitly running the postinstall script with Bash:

sudo bash /opt/ejabberd-15.07/bin/postinstall.sh
