Severity: important
Hi!
It seems that the invocation of GetText::bindtextdomain()
alters the $LOAD_PATH variable in an awkward manner.
Steps to reproduce:
$ cat test-bindtextdomain.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
puts "initial LOAD_PATH:\n-----------"
puts $LOAD_PATH
puts "-----------"
$LOAD_PATH.unshift("./lib")
puts "amended LOAD_PATH:\n-----------"
puts $LOAD_PATH
puts "-----------"
require 'gettext'
include GetText
puts "LOAD_PATH after requires:\n-----------"
puts $LOAD_PATH
puts "-----------"
GetText::bindtextdomain("test-bindtextdomain")
puts "LOAD_PATH after bindtextdomain:\n-----------"
puts $LOAD_PATH
puts "-----------"
$ chmod u+x test-bindtextdomain.rb
$ ./test-bindtextdomain.rb
initial LOAD_PATH:
-----------
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
.
-----------
amended LOAD_PATH:
-----------
./lib
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
.
-----------
LOAD_PATH after requires:
-----------
./lib
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
.
-----------
LOAD_PATH after bindtextdomain:
-----------
.
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
.
-----------
Please note the first LOAD_PATH item: it changes from "./lib" to "."
when bindtextdomain is invoked.
I am pretty sure that this was not happening (in Debian testing)
during last summer and (probably) last autumn.
Hence, this seems to be a regression introduced during the upgrade
from libgettext-ruby1.8/1.93.0-1 to libgettext-ruby1.8/2.1.0-1
What's wrong?
What did I fail to understand?
