Package: python-xattr Version: 0.4-5 Severity: normal `xattr foo` crashes if 'foo' has any extended attributes.
Here's a shell transcript which demonstrates the problem: % touch foo % xattr foo % xattr foo user.bar baz % xattr foo Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xattr", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('xattr==0.4', 'console_scripts', 'xattr')() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/xattr/tool.py", line 81, in main if long_format: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'long_format' referenced before assignment --- exit: 1 --- % xattr -l foo user.bar: baz Upstream has fixed this (well, the tool's been moved around and reindented and stuff) since 0.4, but no new release has been made. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python-xattr depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii python 2.6.5-5 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 1.0.9 automated rebuilding support for P python-xattr recommends no packages. python-xattr suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
