Bug 11127 – /sbin/rc-envupdate.sh breaks XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Georgi Georgiev 2002-11-23 11:08:37 UTC]

I have the line
XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2'
in /etc/env.d/04i18n (I think I decided to put it here)

running /usr/sbin/env-update works correctly and after sourcing /etc/profile the
XMODIFIERS variable has the value '@im=kinput2'. However, running
/sbin/rc-envupdate.sh sets XMODIFIERS to '@im'. Changing gsub to sub in the
rc-envupdate.sh file fixes the problem for me. Patch attached.

I recently upgraded to sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.5.3
The problem is still there, though it now sets XMODIFIERS to kinput2 rather than
@im.

I am attaching a diff with the  very small change to
/lib/rcscripts/awk/genenviron.awk that I made, that fixed the problem

It seems the bug was fixed at some point of time. Could someone mark it as FIXED.
