Description Ernst Sjöstrand 2004-03-17 01:57:42 UTC 
AND on /usr/kde/3.2/share/config/mountwatcher.desktop

This is what I do:

Please select from the menu above (-1 to ignore this update): 1
/usr/sbin/etc-update: line 253: read: 1: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "1")
Exiting: User termination!

All other files work fine.

Those files have just been updated from kde 3.2.0 to 3.2.1.

Reproducible: Always

i found a quick fix. Is seems like etc-update puts some chars after it prints the differences. Try multiple BACKSPACES or CTRL+U, then select 1. It worked for me.
Comment 5 Ernst Sjöstrand 2004-04-09 19:35:39 UTC 
Got it to work. The problem has probably disappeared.
