Package: emacs-goodies-el Version: 33.6ubuntu1 Severity: normal M-x dict reports return codes 20 & 21 from dict, which are not really errors, since they mean “no match” or “approximate match only”.
This also results in the creation of tens of dict buffers most containing just an error message. As far as I can see, this is because dict-make-sentinel-with-buffer tests the output of the process for “finished”, which it does not contain when no definition is found; e.g.: No definitions found for "food" Process dict exited abnormally with code 20 A better strategy would seem to be to test the return code; less than 20 indicates success, and less than 30 indicates (broadly speaking) no match; greater than or equal to 30 indicates some sort of error. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers maverick-updates APT policy: (500, 'maverick-updates'), (500, 'maverick-security'), (500, 'maverick-backports'), (500, 'maverick') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-24-generic (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 emacs-goodies-el depends on: ii bash 4.1-2ubuntu4 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii dpkg 1.15.8.4ubuntu3.1 Debian package management system ii emacs-snapshot [em 2:1.0 The GNU Emacs editor (development ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5ubuntu1 Manage installed documentation in Versions of packages emacs-goodies-el recommends: ii dict 1.11.2+dfsg-2 dictionary client ii perl-doc 5.10.1-12ubuntu2 Perl documentation ii wget 1.12-1.1ubuntu3 retrieves files from the web emacs-goodies-el suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
