Package: resolvconf Version: 1.42 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable
Hello, the /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc script contains "set -e", which means the shell aborts execution if one of the commands returns a non-zero exit status. The aforementioned script contains instructions ("[ ... ]") that do so and thusly fails to work. These familiar with Makefiles, which exhibit similar behaviour, know to use negative logic, i.e. [ x != y ] || foo instead of [ x = y ] && foo, instead. The patch below fixes this problem: --- /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc.orig 2009-03-05 17:07:48.000000000 +0000 +++ /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc 2009-03-05 17:11:10.000000000 +0000 @@ -60,7 +60,9 @@ uniquify() RSLT="" while [ "$1" ] ; do for E in $RSLT ; do - [ "$1" = "$E" ] && { shift ; continue 2 ; } + [ "$1" = "$E" ] || continue + shift + continue 2 done RSLT="${RSLT:+$RSLT }$1" shift @@ -76,7 +78,9 @@ uniquify_nameserver_list() N=0 while [ "$1" ] ; do for E in $NMSRVRS ; do - [ "$1" = "$E" ] && { shift ; continue 2 ; } + [ "$1" = "$E" ] || continue + shift + continue 2 done NMSRVRS="${NMSRVRS:+$NMSRVRS }$1" case "$TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_127" in (y|Y|yes|YES|Yes) case "$1" in (127.*) return 0 ;; esac ;; esac -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/mksh Versions of packages resolvconf depends on: ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip resolvconf recommends no packages. resolvconf suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * resolvconf/linkify-resolvconf: true * resolvconf/downup-interfaces: resolvconf/link-tail-to-original: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
