Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.6.ds1-11 Severity: normal
In /usr/bin/ldd there is a variable, filename_magic_regex, which is set before argument parsing and passed to egrep when checking the name of a non-executable file. Later, when checking the output of file -L, a variable file_magic_regex is referenced: however, this variable is nowhere set. It would appear, from context, that it *isn't* a typo for filename_magic_regex. However, it should probably also be set, somewhere ! Alternatively, the test based on file -L | sed 10q needs to be revised in some way: at present, it fatuously always passes, since egrep '' matches everything. No patch, as I'm unable to guess what regex was intended. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii tzdata 2006p-1 Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time libc6 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
