Package: pcopy Version: 1.5-2 Hi! After having a lot of problems with pcopy I found several bugs in the source code: - Missing #include <string.h>, which brakes strerror(errno) and memset(); therefore you don't get an error message opening non-existent files in line 460 (see below), but instead a segfault (see http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1635237.html). - write_fd = open(dstdev, O_WRONLY+O_SYNC) in line 457 does't create new files, so I suggest to use something like if (fstat(read_fd, &read_sb) == -1) { fprintf(stderr, ...); } write_fd = creat(dstdev, read_sb.st_mode); if (write_fd < 0) { fprintf(stderr, ...); } instead. - The most severe bug (and I guess this leads to #484067) is the if (write_pos =! pos) [should be of course "!="] in line 176 when writing the new file. I fixed these bugs (new source in attachment) and besides that I reformatted the source code and added some curly brackets in nested if-statements (so the diff is quite large and not very useful).

Version: 1.5-2+rm You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/558191 in Debian BTS against the package pcopy. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will remain open for older distributions. For more information about this package's removal, read http://bugs.debian.org/596552. That bug might give the reasons why this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements. Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question. Thank you for your contribution to Debian. -- Luca Falavigna
