Package: cdebconf
Version: 0.156~0
Severity: important
Hello,
I've built the current git version of cdebconf and built d-i CDs, it
seems the latest changes make tasksel's debconf not start: with 0.155,
it does start, but with 0.156~0 pkgsel calls tasksel, tasksel starts its
backend, which does the db_* calls, db_input and db_go, but no question
appears at all and the return value is empty, and thus tasksel doesn't
install anything.
Most changes in 0.156~0 are not in the udeb, except the "Implement
handling of multiple flags in the rfc822db backend." change, maybe there
is a small typo or something like this there. At least one difference I
can see is that when there is no flag, "Flags:\n" is output instead of
"Flags: \n", but maybe the bug is hiding in parse_flags too: there are a
few odd things:
<
br />if
(!string)
return;
Doesn't the compiler warn that a return value should be specified? It
should be 0 here, and that might be exactly the case where tasksel
loses, because the tasksel/first template is not preloaded, it is loaded
by hand by the tasksel debconf backend.
Also,
while (*wc == ' ' || *wc == '\t' || *wc == '\0')
{
wc++;
}
if the string is "Flags: foo " with a trailing space, the loop will not
stop. wc should probably be set to delim+1 (finished not being 1 assures
us that *delim was not \0) and drop *wc == 0 from the while loop above.
