Package: mdadm Version: 2.5 Submitter: Jørn V. Christensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tags: confirmed, patch
----- Forwarded message from "\"Jørn V. Christensen\"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Hi, I am writing to you because you are listed as the maintainer of the mdadm package in Debian. I have found (and fixed?) a bug in the post installation script for mdadm 2.5.6-8. Basically what happened, was that sed complained about a misstated command: sed: -e expression #1, char 30: unknown option to `s' I investigated the error and found that the it happened while sed was trying to update the mail addresses. The problem is that I have listed two mail addresses (separated by a comma) and the sed command delimiter character was also chosen to be commas. Thus the resulting sed command would have 4 commas instead of 3. The fix: Changing the sed delimiter character to / instead of comma. 73c73 < sed -i -e "s,^MAILADDR.*,MAILADDR $MAILADDR," $CONFIG --- > sed -i -e "s/^MAILADDR.*/MAILADDR $MAILADDR/" $CONFIG The bug is rather old (several months) but I did not do anything about it because I thought you (as the maintainer) would see the bug and make a fix. I did not realize until now that it was because I have two addresses listed instead of one. Anyway... hope it is useful to you...
