Package: libldap-ruby1.8
Severity: normal
Version: 0.9.5-1
Hi there,
coming from 0.9.0-1, which worked fine, I upgraded to 0.9.5-1, which
broke schema processing in my script:
invalid regular expression; can't use character class as an end value of
range: /MUST\s+\(([\w\d_-\s\$]+)\)/
in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/ldap/schema.rb:38
To invoke the bug I basically use this source:
@conn = ::LDAP::Conn.new('bts2ldap.debian.net', 10101)
s = @conn.schema
s.attr("debbugsBug", "MUST")
Ruby does not seem to cope with dashes within a regular expression, it
needs to be put at the end. \w also already matches \d and _, so those
character sets could be removed.
I applied the attached patch (which truncates the expression down to
`[\w\s\$-]' instead of `[\w\d_-\s\$]') to make it work for me. I am not
entirely sure if the fix is right, but it looks to me like it.
Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
