Package: dist Version: 3.70-31 Severity: important The file /usr/share/dist/U/Chk_MANI.U on line 42 causes the generated Configure script to include a call to "split -l -50", which causes split(1) from coreutils 5.97-5.3 to complain as follows: split: -50: invalid number of lines Try `split --help' for more information.
This does not cause Configure to fail but does cause it not to check the MANIFEST file to ensure that all required files are present in a distributed package. It appears that either one of the following replacements works as intended: "split -l 50" "split -50" -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages dist depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction dist recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
