Yes, I meant Users/Groups.pm. The syntax error is actually not a perl message: it comes from the shell because of the parentheses in "ARRAY()". But that's not an issue since we only want to get the message printed.
Everything seems to be fine - at least groups are found and filled correctly. So I suspect two errors: either the list of members is not passed correctly, or the logindefs are wrong. The former is easy to check too, just add &Utils::File::run ("echo " . join(".", @a)); The latter not hard either: add something like &Utils::File::run ("echo Min: $$logindefs{"gmin"}"); &Utils::File::run ("echo Max: $$logindefs{"gmax"}"); before 'return' in GroupsConfig.pm:get(). If there's a problem, then you should check your /etc/login.defs for GID_MIN and GID_MAX entries. But that problem should not happen since default values should be used. I'm not very familiar with perl, so I'm a little lost with lists becoming arrays then structs. But since we're looking for a relatively rare bug, I don't think that's a plain syntax error. Thanks for your debugging work, and don't hesitate to play with this method to get more details, as you likely know has much as I do about perl. -- users-admin (System->Administration->Users and Groups) overwrites group file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160862 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
