Package: libruby1.8 Version: 1.8.7.72-3.1 Severity: normal Hi!
I noticed that /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tempfile.rb sends debug output (when $DEBUG is true) to $stdout. See the following two lines: print "removing ", path, "..." if $DEBUG and print "done\n" if $DEBUG I think that this is a bug, since this behavior could mess up with the normal output and produce wrong results, whenever the normal output is intended to be machine-readable. It is my understanding that this behavior is unintentional: debug output (when enabled with the $DEBUG variable) should be directed to $stderr . Please fix those two lines so that they send debug output to $stderr and forward this bug report upstream, as appropriate. Thanks in advance. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (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 libruby1.8 depends on: ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090404-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime libruby1.8 recommends no packages. libruby1.8 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
