Package: quilt Severity: minor
The quilt test-suite fails when using mawk or original-awk instead of gawk. After applying this patch, all run fine. It just drops a check for a word boundary, which is a gawk-extension. I think it is safe to use it, as there is very similar code in mail.in which does neither use word-boundary checks. I suggest applying this patch and replacing the gawk-dependency with a general awk-dependency. *** awk-fix Index: quilt-0.46/quilt/mail.in =================================================================== --- quilt-0.46.orig/quilt/mail.in 2006-09-05 15:44:45.000000000 +0200 +++ quilt-0.46/quilt/mail.in 2007-07-03 23:47:04.000000000 +0200 @@ -204,9 +204,9 @@ if [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -eq 0 ] then local desc=$(echo $(echo "$header" | awk ' - /^EDESC\>/ { desc = 0 } + /^EDESC/ { desc = 0 } desc { print } - /^DESC\>/ { desc = 1 } + /^DESC/ { desc = 1 } ')) if [ -n "$desc" ] then -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.4.32 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
