Package: gzip Version: 1.3.5-13 Followup-For: Bug #292896 I note that it's a long time since this bug was reported, and my one-line patch has still not been applied. I imagine that the problem is that my fix uses a bash-specific feature, $PIPESTATUS.
I've now updated my patch with a (GPLed, hence same license) hack found in the c.u.s. FAQ at http://home.comcast.net/~j.p.h/cus-faq-2 which gives the following diff with the current version of zgrep (from gzip 1.3.5-13): -----------cut here------------------ --- /bin/zgrep 2006-04-15 08:33:46.000000000 +0100 +++ bin/zgrep 2006-06-08 15:55:19.000000000 +0100 @@ -106,7 +106,24 @@ else sed_script="s|^|${i}:|" fi - $grep $opt "$pat" | sed "$sed_script" + # Hack adapted from GPLed code at + # http://home.comcast.net/~j.p.h/cus-faq-2 + # Has the same effect as the following two lines of bash: + # + # $grep $opt "$pat" | sed "$sed_script" + # exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]} + # + # Inside the `...`, fd4 goes to the pipe whose other end is read + # and passed to eval; fd1 is the normal standard output + # preserved the line before with exec 3>&1 + exec 3>&1 + eval ` + exec 4>&1 >&3 3>&- + { + $grep $opt "$pat" 4>&-; echo "r=$?;" >&4 + } | sed "$sed_script" + ` + exit $r fi r=$? test $res -lt $r && res=$r -----------cut here------------------ -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gzip depends on: ii debianutils 2.16.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries gzip recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
