Does dialog work if you run it manually? If you enter: dialog --item-help --checklist Title 0 0 0 Item Text on Description in a shell, do you see anything wrong?
1. I have the same thing happening. It's quite recent. Since I sync this particular box every day, I'm guessing it just happened. 2. I tried the "dialog" line given -- works just fine. Here's what I have: bash-2.05b$ emerge -pv dialog ufed These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] dev-util/dialog-1.0.20040731 -unicode 0 kB [ebuild R ] app-portage/ufed-0.34 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB Should I try to force an upgrade on "ufed"?? I tried re-installing it and that didn't work.
I have the same problem. Running "strace -f ufed" showed the following command failing prior to the "ESC pressed" message: [pid 22170] execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "exec 3> /tmp/use.0oDylk ; DIALOG"...], [/* 39 vars */]) = -1 E2BIG (Argument list too long) This corresponds to the exec() call on line 297 of the ufed script. The test for ESC being pressed is on line 311 where it checks for a value of 255; presumably this matches because the return value of -1 from the exec() call is 255 in an unsigned byte.
Created attachment 43840 [details, diff] ufed-0.35-toomanyflags.patch Okay, I get it too now. I guess I hadn't got it yet because I hadn't synced. Thanks for the strace. This fixes it for me; does this work for you too?
Hi, patch applied, now i get the following err-message: Error: Expected 4 arguments, found only 2. Use --help to list options. ESC pressed, changes not saved
Hi, sorry I didn't test this more carefully. It won't work without the patch from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68924 that fixes another bug.
I've applied both patches and now ufed is doing fine again, thanks!
Not sure if this have something to do with it, but I get this too. However, first I got this: merc ~ # ufed Can't locate Term/ReadKey.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i586-linux .) at /usr/sbin/ufed line 11.

So I made a # locate ReadKey.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux/Term/ReadKey.pm Aha I though, remembering I just upgraded perl so did a # revdep-rebuild Checking reverse dependencies...

All done. I expected it to find the faulty dependency to TermReadKey but it didn't, so the I remerged TermReadKey and now get # ufed ESC pressed, changes not saved I understand these 2 patches can fix it, but are they the "real" cure and if why don't they go into portage? The other patch is over 2 weeks old and the package have basicly been broken for over a month! I know time is limited, but if someone can make and supply a working patch, someone (else) must be able to take the few minutes to commit it into portage tree?
I have the same problem with ufed-0.34 since my last sync: Yesterday I emerge sync'ed and it told me that my profile (1.4) is no longer supported and I should upgrade to portage 2.0.51. I followed the instructions to change my profile (to 2004.0, I wonder why not 2004.2 or 2004.3?). Since then ufed did not work anymore. It failed to load use.defaults. So I searched for them and copied them to my new profile. This is related to Bugzilla Bug 62261. Now ufed immediatly exits with ESC pressed, changes not saved. I tried to re-emerge ufed-0.34 to no success.

> I have the same problem with ufed-0.34 since my last sync: ufed 0.34 doesn't support stacked profiles. ufed 0.35-r1 is the only one that works with your current profile. > i'm not sure how to apply the patch Things like this should probably be asked in the forums, but anyway: download the two patches and run these commands: patch /usr/sbin/ufed ufed-0.35-escape.patch patch /usr/sbin/ufed ufed-0.35-toomanyflags.patch
Incorporating the fixes from both patches to /usr/sbin/ufed makes it work again. Thanks a lot.
These patches work. Can someone update ufed in portage?
Created attachment 44104 [details] modified ebuild to apply patches required I've attached a modified ebuild above, which is the same as the original but with a couple of additional epatch lines you can put this into your portage overlay directory also remember to put the patch files into the ufed files directory in overlay ufed-0.35-toomanyflags.patch already attached to this Bug and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68924 ufed-0.35-escape.patch this will work for x86 for amd64 you'll also need to add: =dev-util/dialog-1.0.20040731 to /etc/portage/package.keywords and emerge -u dialog
This needs to be in x86 stable.
I tried the patches manually. I also tried the above ebuild. Neither worked for me. Now instead of getting only the "ESC Pressed" error, I get the following: _______________________________ Error: Unknown option --file. Use --help to list options. ESC pressed, changes not saved _______________________________ Suggestions?
Update to the above: Upgrading to dialog-1.0.20040731 made the patches work on x86. Evidently, the dependencies needs to be upgraded in the ebuild to >=dialog-1.0.20040731 for all architectures, not just amd64.
I tested Richard's new ebuild, with the two new patches, after upgrading to dialog-1.0.20040731, and ufed once more works as it should. I'm using "hardened/x86" profile here, though only for a day so far. Interesting reading, this bug! A couple weeks before ufed stopped working entirely (due to changing profile), I had noticed some "chopped-off" USE flags in my make.conf, like (fictional example) "moznoco" when it should have been "moznocompose". I wonder if this had to do with the "too many flags" problem. Oh, well... that's a different bug. :)
> I had noticed some "chopped-off" USE flags in my make.conf, See bug #68691 for that.
I'm using ufed-0.35-r1 on ~amd64 and have the same problem
*** Bug 71448 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
0.35-r2 with the patch is in CVS now.
