Package: xdg-utils
Version: 1.0.2+cvs20100307-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/xdg-email
Calling xdg-email with options to prefill the email doesn't work. The MUA opens
as if the user had just clicked Compose. The output explains. For example, with
--subject :
$ xdg-email --subject Hi
awk: line 15: regular expression compile failed (bad class -- [], [^] or [)
[...@a-za-z0-9.-\\
awk: line 15: syntax error at or near ]
awk: line 17: syntax error at or near else
awk: line 20: syntax error at or near }
chea...@vinci:~$
This expression is in the awk call in url_encode(). The regular expression was
changed in revision 1.43 upstream:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/portland/portland/xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-email?r1=1.42&r2=1.43
For some reason, this only happens with mawk (which is currently the default
AWK implementation). gawk doesn't have the issue. I verified this is a
regression from 1.0.2+cvs20100223-1.
For example, this bug largely breaks reportbug-ng; it opens a blank mail with
nothing in To, Subject and body.
I don't understand how url_encode() works, but I see the commit added "\\/" in
the regexp. Assuming this is trying to add "\/" to the character class, this
should be written "\\\/". It's not clear why gawk handles the current regexp.
Perhaps it understands the unescaped slash as a slash because it's enough
intelligent to tell the character class isn't terminated.
