Package: apt-xapian-index Version: 0.45 Severity: normal For example, consider this "screenshot":
,---- | naesten@hydrogen:~% axi-cache search use::Traceback (most recent call | last): | File "/usr/bin/axi-cache", line 28, in <module> | from optparse import OptionParser | KeyboardInterrupt | axi-cache search use:: | Completing `args' or `terms/query' `---- This was taken after typing "axi-cache search use::", TAB, and ^C in zsh; the cursor ended up after "use::" on the line after "KeyboardInterrupt". (The precise text will of course vary depending on the zsh completion settings, and on when in the execution SIGINT is received. Usually the traceback is much longer) I would have expected to see just: ,---- | naesten@hydrogen:~% axi-cache search use:: | Completing `args' or `terms/query' `---- (With the cursor remaining just after "use::".) Given that it seems to be impossible to make dead certain that Python does not print such a traceback on SIGINT (without embedding it in a C program, anyway), it seems like the thing to do is to change the zsh completion code for axi-cache so that it redirects axi-cache's stderr to /dev/null. It would probably also be wise to make the completion code run the same copy of axi-cache that the command being completed would invoke; as it stands, if I try to complete "./axi-cache use::" from the source directory and then type SIGINT, I still get a traceback including /usr/bin/axi-cache! -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) 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 apt-xapian-index depends on: ii python 2.7.2-7 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-apt 0.8.0 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii python-debian 0.1.21 Python modules to work with Debian ii python-support 1.0.14 automated rebuilding support for P ii python-xapian 1.2.7-1 Xapian search engine interface for apt-xapian-index recommends no packages.
