Package: dpkg
Version: 1.3.22
Seen in src/archives.c:
narglist[i++]= strdup("f");
narglist[i++]= strdup("-print0");
narglist[i++]= 0;
execvp(FIND, narglist);
ohshite(_("failed to exec find for --recursive"));
The same code in dpkg 1.4.0 read:
const char **arglist;
...
arglist[i++]= "f";
arglist[i++]= "-print0";
arglist[i++]= 0;
execvp(FIND, (char* const*)arglist);
and is more correct.
Whoever wrote the patch that introduced these changes was obviously
insufficiently knowledgeable about C. All contributions by that
programmer should be reviewed by someone competent.
