Package: quilt Version: 0.46-4 Severity: important Tags: patch
quilt breaks when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set to 1, because it invokes patch, and patch does not work non-interactively in POSIX mode. (I believe this is the mandated behavior, unfortunate as it is.) If you want to rely on non-POSIX semantics of patch, you should unset POSIXLY_CORRECT (and probably _POSIX2_VERSION and POSIXLY_PEDANTIC as well).
Since I run with all three variables set, this makes it impossible to build any package that uses quilt, which is quite a lot of packages indeed.
An untested patch is attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rc8-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages quilt depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.4-2 high-quality block-sorting file co ii diffstat 1.45-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii gawk [awk] 1:3.1.5.dfsg-4 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii gettext 0.17-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii mawk [awk] 1.3.3-11 a pattern scanning and text proces ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original quilt recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only troff on top of XML: http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc/code/thwack OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
