Package: fcheck Version: 2.7.59-17 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Just installed fcheck on Debian Wheezy, and on every run it includes at the top of the fcheck email: "Use of assignment to $[ is deprecated at /usr/sbin/fcheck line 1366." This occurs regardless of whether or not fcheck has anything else to report, resulting in excessive notifications from fcheck. I don't believe it is causing any actual breakage - I performed an update on another package and duly received a notification from fcheck. perldata states: "Version 5 of Perl changed the semantics of $[ : files that don't set the value of $[ no longer need to worry about whether another file changed its value. (In other words, use of $[ is deprecated.)" I suspect that therefore that line 1366 can be just removed, I have commented this line out on my system, and the error has now gone away, but it is still warning correctly when files change. -- Regards, Chris Roberts -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) 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 fcheck depends on: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20111106cvs-1 ii file 5.09-2 ii mailx 1:20081101-2 fcheck recommends no packages. fcheck suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
