Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sbackup
When the target directory contains # (number sign), sbackupd fails with message "E: Target directory is not writable - please test in simple-config-gnome!" even though the access rights are set correctly (with no # backup works just fine). The problem is, according to my quick research, calling the Python function gnomevfs.make_directory ( http://www.pygtk.org/pygnomevfs /gnomevfs-functions.html#function-gnomevfs--make_directory ). This function accepts the target *URI* as the first parameter, but sbackupd.py passes the original name to it, the one containing #. According to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI everything after # in an URI is considered the "fragment". The solution would probably be to URI-encode the target path first. Using Ubuntu 8.10 sbackup version 0.10.5ubuntu2 ** Affects: sbackup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- SBackup fails if target path contains # https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330680 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
