Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.38 Severity: normal When I call debuild with --preserve-env and have GREP_OPTIONS="--color=always" set in my environment the call to grep of the dpkg-parsechangelog output fails because of the escape codes inserted for colorization. For what that part of the script is trying to do it makes more sense to just use perl's builtin grep.
I've attached a patch below. Note that the script calls the system grep in a couple other places, but I haven't patched those ones, just this one instance: --- debuild.orig 2008-10-03 09:32:46.000000000 -0700 +++ debuild 2008-10-03 09:45:16.000000000 -0700 @@ -610,9 +610,9 @@ # Find the source package name and version number my %changelog; -open PARSED, q[dpkg-parsechangelog | grep '^\(Source\|Version\):' |] +my @parsed = grep {/^(Source|Version):/} `dpkg-parsechangelog` or fatal "cannot execute dpkg-parsechangelog | grep: $!"; -while (<PARSED>) { +foreach (@parsed) { chomp; if (/^(\S+):\s(.+?)\s*$/) { $changelog{$1}=$2; } else { @@ -620,8 +620,6 @@ } } -close PARSED - or fatal "problem executing dpkg-parsechangelog | grep: $!"; if ($?) { fatal "dpkg-parsechangelog | grep failed!" } fatal "no package name in changelog!" -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.14.22 Debian package development tools ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.10.0-15 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.10.1 Delayed job execution and batch pr ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii bzr 1.5-1.1 easy to use distributed version co ii curl 7.18.2-7 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii cvs 1:1.12.13-12 Concurrent Versions System ii dctrl-tools 2.13.0 Command-line tools to process Debi ii debian-keyring 2008.09.23 GnuPG (and obsolete PGP) keys of D ii debian-maintainers 1.45 GPG keys of Debian maintainers ii dput 0.9.2.35 Debian package upload tool ii epiphany-gecko [ww 2.22.3-4 Intuitive GNOME web browser - Geck ii equivs 2.0.7-0.1 Circumvent Debian package dependen ii fakeroot 1.9.7 Gives a fake root environment ii gnupg 1.4.9-3 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii iceweasel [www-bro 3.0.1-1 lightweight web browser based on M ii libauthen-sasl-per 2.12-1 Authen::SASL - SASL Authentication ii libcrypt-ssleay-pe 0.57-1+b1 Support for https protocol in LWP ii libparse-debcontro 2.005-2 Easy OO parsing of Debian control- ii libsoap-lite-perl 0.710.08-1 Client and server side SOAP implem ii libterm-size-perl 0.2-4+b1 Perl extension for retrieving term ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii libwww-perl 5.813-1 WWW client/server library for Perl ii libyaml-syck-perl 1.05-1 Fast, lightweight YAML loader and ii lintian 2.0.0 Debian package checker ii lsb-release 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base version report ii lynx-cur [www-brow 2.8.7dev10-2 Text-mode WWW Browser with NLS sup ii man-db 2.5.2-3 on-line manual pager ii openssh-client [ss 1:5.1p1-3 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii patch 2.5.9-5 Apply a diff file to an original ii patchutils 0.2.31-4 Utilities to work with patches ii strace 4.5.17+cvs080723-2 A system call tracer ii subversion 1.5.1dfsg1-1 Advanced version control system ii unzip 5.52-12 De-archiver for .zip files ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.2-2+b1 WWW browsable pager with excellent ii wdiff 0.5-18 Compares two files word by word ii wget 1.11.4-2 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii build-essential 11.4 Informational list of build-essent ii cvs-buildpackage 5.23 A set of Debian package scripts fo ii devscripts-el 29.4-1 Emacs wrappers for the commands in ii gnuplot 4.2.3-1.1 A command-line driven interactive ii libfile-desktopentry-perl 0.04-1 Perl module to handle freedesktop ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.01-2 SSL support for Net::SMTP ii mutt 1.5.18-4 text-based mailreader supporting M ii svn-buildpackage 0.6.23 helper programs to maintain Debian -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
