Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.15
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
apticron correctly generates the list of packages to be upgraded, but
the changelog entries are missing in its mail message. Instead, the mail
ends with
-----snip-----snap----------snip-----snap----------snip-----snap-----
Package Details:
Usage: apt-listchanges [options] {--apt | filename.deb ...}
-----snip-----snap----------snip-----snap----------snip-----snap-----
Looking into this, I assume line 90
if [ `ls ${PKGPATH}${PKG}_${VERFILE}_*.deb >& /dev/null` ] ; then
to be the source of the problem. I suppose the intention is to filter
out packages which couldn't be found in the local file system. But ls
returns 0 on success and values greater than 0 on error, so this
condition should perhaps rather be
if [ ! `ls ${PKGPATH}${PKG}_${VERFILE}_*.deb >& /dev/null` ] ; then
which works on my system.
Regards,
Michael
