Package: runit-services
Version: 0.7.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
gpm fails to start, emitting a failure on the console every second,
since the addition of a gpm runscript to runit-services/0.7.0.
The cause is the computed command line option set being quoted as a
single argument, resulting in a failure to parse the options
by the daemon. The error message is confusing because it appears to
request what we already doing:
2024-10-26_14:30:27.36287 O0o.oops(): [daemon/old_main.c(54)]: Please use -m
/dev/mouse -t protocol
I have raised a merge request with the fix at:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/runit-services/-/merge_requests/10
Patch also attached for convenience.
Thank you!
