Bug 19806 – Bad perl syntax in epm

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Scott Hunt 2003-04-22 21:09:28 UTC]

Line 603 of epm (ver. 0.8) reads:
  die 'One mode required, and only one mode allowed\n';

I believe that in order for the "\n" to work, it needs be in double quotes:
  die "One mode required, and only one mode allowed\n";


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run epm without any parameters
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
One mode required, and only one mode allowed\n at /usr/bin/epm line 603.


Expected Results:  
One mode required, and only one mode allowed\n at ./epm line 603.

Here's my diff:
