Package: cvs Version: 1:1.12.9-13 Severity: normal
When commiting a file to cvs (tested with local transport and ssh transport) the following error is observed: cvs commit: loginfo:1: no such internal variable $USEH where $USEH is a garbled form of $USER. Various garbled forms have been observed, and sometimes the error does not print at all. The "offending" line in loginfo is syntactically and grammatically correct: ALL /usr/local/bin/cvs-log $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog $USER A google search turns up the following on CVSspam's website: 1.5.3. When I try to commit, I see messages like, cvs commit: loginfo:32: no such internal variable $USEt cvs commit: loginfo:32: no such internal variable $USEH cvs commit: loginfo:32: no such internal variable $USExist and other garbled $var names, but I don't use any variables like these, just the $USER keyword This seems to be a bug in CVS (in at least version 1.12.9). Try upgrading the server. So, perhaps upstream has a fix for this? I looked through the recent changelogs of the cvs upstream releases, and no mention of this "bug" is found.
