That's because anyone is allowed to subscribe to debian bug feeds, whether or not they use debian. I have found that debian bug reports for m4 tend to flush out issues that also affect other platforms, so I subscribed in order to improve m4. However, in this case, there is no m4 bug. > > Here's the whole directory /usr/share/sendmail hoping it will help ;) Yep. cf.m4 includes cfhead.m4, which does changecom(^A), which means that # no longer starts m4 comments. That means that text that follows # is live to m4, and thus the line: # * `sendmailconfig` in sendmail.mc is starting an unterminated doubly-nested quoted string, rather than being a comment. This is a sendmail bug, not an m4 bug. cfhead.m4 should probably be changed to call changecom(`#') after it has done all its work, once again making # start comments in the user file, so that text in the user comments is no longer live to m4. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
