Package: changetrack Version: 3.16-5 Followup-For: Bug #193492 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I just found the same problem on several of my sarge systems. Eventually discovered that the output of `ls -l` depends on your locale (see the ls info page). In particular, with LANG=en_us, you get - -rwxr-xr-x 1 ron ron 16139 2003-05-29 16:28 changetrack* With LANG unset, - -rwxr-xr-x 1 ron ron 16139 May 29 16:28 changetrack* Unfortunately, this means that the filename is on field 7 in the first instance, field 8 in the second, meaning that whether line 162 of the changetrack program gets a real filename or not depends on the locale. There are probably lots of ways to fix this one. I found that by setting the 'time-style' option in the ls invocation seemed to work. Patch below. .....Ron --------------------------------- *** /usr/bin/changetrack 2003-04-21 09:55:04.000000000 -0400 - --- changetrack 2003-05-29 16:28:44.000000000 -0400 *************** *** 152,165 **** $filename = $homedir . $filename; } ! open(LS,"ls -l -d $filename |"); # match wildcards like 'ls' my $anyfile = 0; # flag in case we find nothing while(<LS>) { # may match several (wildcards) my @diff = (); my @ed = (); chomp; s/ / /g; # remove redundant spaces ! my $realfile = (split(/\s+/))[8]; # filename my $filebits = (split(/\s+/))[0]; # permission bits if((substr($realfile,-1,1) eq "~") && ($filename =~ m/\*/)) { # it's a backup file not explicitly included - --- 152,165 ---- $filename = $homedir . $filename; } ! open(LS,"ls -l -d --time-style=long-iso $filename |"); # match wildcards like 'ls' my $anyfile = 0; # flag in case we find nothing while(<LS>) { # may match several (wildcards) my @diff = (); my @ed = (); chomp; s/ / /g; # remove redundant spaces ! my $realfile = (split(/\s+/))[7]; # filename my $filebits = (split(/\s+/))[0]; # permission bits if((substr($realfile,-1,1) eq "~") && ($filename =~ m/\*/)) { # it's a backup file not explicitly included - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux khufu 2.4.19-khufu-8 #1 Tue Apr 1 20:28:13 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages changetrack depends on: ii debconf 1.2.35 Debian configuration management sy ii libfile-ncopy-perl 0.32-1 file copying like cp for perl ii libmail-sendmail-perl 0.78.5-1 Send email from a perl script ii perl 5.8.0-17 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.8.0-17 Core Perl modules. ii rcs 5.7-13 The GNU Revision Control System - -- debconf information: changetrack/remove_depository: false changetrack/unified_diff: true changetrack/remove_repository: false changetrack/quiet: true * changetrack/old_defaults: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+1nPRitqjxNhsdN4RAuzsAJ97X7Rhgk3YkC2Zj7g1BRv5cKg+pgCgjfSi rNQ0zAALjHDvj6t+NIyuU6A= =uXSx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
