Here is the fix. The patch is coming from Debian BTS. ** Description changed:
Binary package hint: apt-cacher Hi, Cron send me an email: Subject: Cron <r...@server01> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/apt-cacher//apt-cacher-lib.pl line 169, <$listpipe> line 2692. and so on. Iattached a file with the complete Message and with the output of "sudo /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-cleanup.pl -v" Greetings Michael + + == SRU == + + During the daily cron, apt-cacher runs the apt-cacher-cleanup script. The output of the script is some thousands of line like: + Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/apt-cacher//apt-cacher-lib.pl line 169, <$listpipe> line 153729. + + The goal of the SRU is to fix the erroneous output for this script to + prevent sysadmin mailbox filling with those useless messages ;-). The + patch have been reviewed by upstream (the Debian maintainer), but not + included in Debian as 1.5 series are no more in Debian. Nevertheless, as + lot of servers are running our LTS, I think it worth fixing this here. + + TEST CASE: + * install apt-acher + * have some packages entering the cache + * run by hand /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-cleanup.pl + * see the output containing the lines given above + * with the proposed package, those errors are not shown anymore when running the script by hand. ** Attachment added: "debdiff for apt-acher in hardy" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21766726/apt-cacher_1.5.5-0ubuntu0.1.debdiff -- apt-cacher / Use of uninitialized value in concatenation / line 169 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
