The problem is in line 177 of debian/local/Failsafe/failsafeXinit. There is an \ before the $ in $xorg_backup_file which shouldn't be there. Since there is an eval_gettext at the beginning, the varable name was probably supposed to be part of the preceding string. So either remove the \ or do everything in one string as in the attached diff, which I have tested (at least in English).
I hope this is close enough to a patch. ** Patch added: "failsafeXinit.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51879671/failsafeXinit.diff ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- Failsafe X displays variable name instead of file name for debugging tarball https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
