Package: devscripts Version: 2.9.4 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/bts Hi,
when ~/.devscripts_cache/bts/ exists, bts -m show nnnn downloads nnnn.html to this directory and then complains that it can't read the mbox. The culprit seems to be the "download" function, which has a "mboxing" argument but doesn't do anything with it (it downloads "http://bugs.debian.org/nnnn"; anyway). When ~/.devscripts_cache/bts doesn't exist, the function called is download_mbox, which correctly downloads "http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=nnnn&mbox=yes";. I fixed this locally with the following patch, which disables caching for mboxes, but there probably is a better solution: --- /usr/bin/bts 2005-08-04 04:15:22.000000000 +0200 +++ /home/julien/bin/bts 2005-09-01 00:09:56.658575964 +0200 @@ -1689,7 +1689,7 @@ } } # else we're in online mode - elsif ($hascache && $caching && have_lwp() && $thing ne '') { + elsif ($hascache && $caching && have_lwp() && $thing ne '' && !$mboxmode) { my $live=download($thing, 0, $mboxmode); if ($mboxmode) { Thanks, Julien Cristau -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.14.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.13.10 Package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii perl 5.8.7-3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.2-8 The GNU sed stream editor Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii fakeroot 1.3 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
