Package: vpnc
Version: 0.3.3+SVN20051028-3
Severity: normal

There was some trouble when testing pcf2vpnc:

- This Perl script relies on LWP::Simple which isn't necessarily
  installed. I'd suggest to do a test first:

  use IO::File;
+ eval { require LWP::Simple; } || die ("Please install the libwww-perl package 
first");
  use LWP::Simple; 

  since a "Depends: libwww-perl" seems a bit oversized for a seldom-used
  helper application. "Suggests:" or "Recommends:" might be an idea.

- The script did not skip empty option lines in the .pcf shipped by my
  university. Subsequently it tried to decode an empty enc_UserPassword
  which is somewhat confusing. The cause for all that were \r\n line endings.
  Fix:

      while (<$file>) {
+         s/\r$//;
          if (/^(.*?)=(.*?)$/) {

- Just for readability:

      unless ($confirm eq "yes") {
-         print STDERR "Password decryption has been omitted!";
+         print STDERR "Password decryption has been omitted!\n";
          return "";

  Else the first line of the output (on stdout only) ""## generated by
  pcf2vpnc.pl" might not be printed on the beginning of the line.
