Package: libcss-perl Version: 1.08-1 Severity: important
The standard declares: 4.1.9 Comments Comments begin with the characters "/*" and end with the characters "*/". They may occur anywhere between tokens, and their contents have no influence on the rendering. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#comments There seems to be no objection to multi-line comments, but such comments are not properly removed, which can cause the parsing to fail, at least if the comment occurs inside a style, such as this case: h1 { /* */ color:green; } The problem seems to be an inaccuracy in the regex used to remove comments, in the parse_string subroutine in CSS.pm: # remove comments $string =~ s!/\*.*?\*\/!!g; I think that this should be something like '$string =~ s!/\*.*?\*\/!!gs;', so that the newline inside the comment will match. I'm no regex guru, but I've tested this and it seems to work. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-rc5-lizzie Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libcss-perl depends on: ii libparse-recdescent-perl 1.962.2+dfsg-1 Perl module to create and use recu ii perl 5.10.1-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction libcss-perl recommends no packages. libcss-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
