Package: perl Version: 5.10.0-19lenny2 Severity: important
I noticed that /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-*.postinst did not correctly run lilo. Seems that the bug can be reproduced with script: #! /usr/bin/perl $_ = 'do_bootloader = yes'; #print "ctrl1\n"; print "test1\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig; #print "ctrl2\n"; print "test2\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig; #print "ctrl3\n"; print "test3\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig; #print "ctrl4\n"; print "test4\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig; #print "ctrl5\n"; print "test5\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig; #print "ctrl6\n"; print "test6\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig; exit; which should print 6 tests, but it prints 1,3,5 only. Uncommenting the control lines, those are printed correctly, but still only tests 1,3,5 are printed. Am I going mad ??!!
