Package: fai-client Version: 3.4.7 Severity: normal We tried to put a package in the package_config file with the following:
linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/squeeze-backports But install_packages declared that the package: linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/squeeze-backports didn't exist, which is lies. The installable function has a regex which pick out the package name, but it doesn't support the above syntax. The attached patch adds this support (against master).

For example: package/squeeze-backports Was being rejected. This patch pulls out "package" and allows us to see if it exists. --- bin/install_packages | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/bin/install_packages b/bin/install_packages index 2f1b6b8..2bbde36 100755 --- a/bin/install_packages +++ b/bin/install_packages @@ -440,7 +440,7 @@ sub mkpackagelist { # simulate APTs and aptitudes understanding of "special" package names # suffixed by -, + - elsif ( $pack =~ /^(.+)[_=+-]$/ and $cache->exists($1)) { + elsif ( $pack =~ /^(.+?)(?:\/.+|[_=+-])$/ and $cache->exists($1)) { if (defined ($cache->{$1}{VersionList})) { push @known, $pack; -- 1.7.10.4
