Hi,
I am at a loss with shell script that uses debconf. The script itself
is in /etc/libpaper/, but since it is often called from maintainer
scripts, it uses debconf.
The problem is that debconf says it didn't get the right number of
arguments, but I think it did. This is the relevant line of code:
db_subst texlive-base/texconfig_ignorant binary "$binary"
and this is what debconf says:
+ db_subst texlive-base/texconfig_ignorant binary dvipdfmx
+ _db_cmd SUBST texlive-base/texconfig_ignorant binary dvipdfmx
+ IFS= printf %s\n SUBST texlive-base/texconfig_ignorant,binary,dvipdfmx
+ IFS=
read -r _db_internal_line
debconf (developer): <-- SUBST texlive-base/texconfig_ignorant,binary,dvipdfmx
debconf (developer): --> 20 Incorrect number of arguments
+ RET=20 Incorrect number of arguments
+ return 20
The check in ConfModule looks like this:
sub command_subst {
my $this = shift;
return $codes{syntaxerror}, "Incorrect number of arguments" if @_ < 2;
So why does it think it has less than two arguments when what it gets is
texlive-base/texconfig_ignorant,binary,dvipdfmx
I even tried to feed it an additional "foo" at the end, but that doesn't
change anything. Probably I'm missing something trivial...
Regards, Frank
