Package: vserver-debiantools Version: 0.3.4 Severity: important Tags: patch
When running dupvserver, a rgrep is used to find occurences of the 'from' vserver name in files among /etc, replacing those occurences with the 'to' vserver name. In my case, it happened to replace a string inside the emacs binary itself, having the curious effect of: - replacing the /etc/alternatives/emacs symlink with a plain file - this plain file being a crashy emacs (did not survived the sed'ing) A simple fix is adding the -I flag to the rgrep calls. It fixes this very bug. A better fix would probably involve skipping symlinks. Proposed patch against Etch version (should apply on Sid's 0.5.0 too which has the same bug). 176,179c176,179 < FINDTOREPNAME1=$(rgrep "[\" \t]$FROM[\"\t \.]" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 | sed -e "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$") < FINDTOREPNAME2=$(rgrep "^$FROM[\"\t \.]" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 | sed -e "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$") < FINDTOREPNAME3=$(rgrep "[\"\t ]$FROM$" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 | sed -e "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$") < FINDTOREPNAME4=$(rgrep "^$FROM$" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 | sed -e "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$") --- > FINDTOREPNAME1=$(rgrep -I "[\" \t]$FROM[\"\t \.]" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ > 2>&1 | sed -e "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$") > FINDTOREPNAME2=$(rgrep -I "^$FROM[\"\t \.]" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 > | sed -e "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$") > FINDTOREPNAME3=$(rgrep -I "[\"\t ]$FROM$" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 | > sed -e "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$") > FINDTOREPNAME4=$(rgrep -I "^$FROM$" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 | sed -e > "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$") 187c187 < FINDTOREPIP=$(rgrep "$FROMIP" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 | sed -e "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$" | sort -u) --- > FINDTOREPIP=$(rgrep -I "$FROMIP" $VSERVERS_ROOT/$TO/etc/ 2>&1 | sed -e > "s/:.*//;" | grep -v "^grep$" | sort -u) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-xen-vserver-amd64 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages vserver-debiantools depends on: ii binutils 2.17-3 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii debootstrap 0.3.3.2etch1 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii rsync 2.6.9-2etch1 fast remote file copy program (lik ii util-vserver 0.30.212-1 user-space tools for Linux-VServer vserver-debiantools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
