Description Michał Bartoszkiewicz 2009-10-01 00:52:41 UTC

My eix (SVN reision 936) often prints the following message:
std::string PrintFormat::get_pkg_property(const Package*, const std::string&) const: Unknown property ''

I've tracked the problem down to an uninitialized rhs field in the Node class. The attached patch fixes the problem for me.

Fix for the uninitialized variable

Comment 2 Martin Väth 2009-10-01 19:05:41 UTC

Thanks a lot; you certainly spent a lot of time: Such mistakes are hard to find
and hard to reproduce, especially since the missing initialization was by
RHS_STRING=0 (in fact, it never occurred to me).
This will be fixed in eix-0.18.2

Comment 3 Martin Väth 2009-10-11 22:46:31 UTC

I suppose that I can close this bug, since eix-0.18.2 with the fix
is now in the tree. Thanks again.
