Package: vim-addon-manager Version: 0.5.9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
in Line 202 (parse_cmdline) you call Etc.getlogin and Etc.getpwnam, but this fails under certain circumstances. For example when called by a daemon. We (vim-lastplace) use vim-addon-manager in our maintainer scripts, so this can lead to errors with automatic updates: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim-lastplace/+bug/1811935 https://launchpadlibrarian.net/406433346/DpkgTerminalLog.txt /usr/bin/vim-addon-manager:202:in `getpwnam': no implicit conversion of nil into String (TypeError) from /usr/bin/vim-addon-manager:202:in `parse_cmdline' from /usr/bin/vim-addon-manager:252:in `<main>' Could you change the code not to call Etc.getlogin and Etc.getpwnam when not needed (when using -w parameter)? Handling the case when getlogin returns Null and throwing a useful error message also would be great.
