Bug 76323 – binutils-config-1.5 fails due to a syntax error in the script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Etienne Dube 2005-01-01 10:09:25 UTC]

I get the following error when I try to list or get the profiles (-l or -c switches):

outex files # ./binutils-config-1.5 -c
./binutils-config-1.5: line 203: syntax error in conditional expression
./binutils-config-1.5: line 203: syntax error near `]'
./binutils-config-1.5: line 203: `                              [[ ${VER} = "${CURRENT}" ] && x="${x} *"'


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Run binutils-config (version 1.5) with the -l or -c switch.

Actual Results:  
outex files # ./binutils-config-1.5 -c
./binutils-config-1.5: line 203: syntax error in conditional expression
./binutils-config-1.5: line 203: syntax error near `]'
./binutils-config-1.5: line 203: `                              [[ ${VER} =
"${CURRENT}" ] && x="${x} *"'



Patch in attached file fixes the problem.

this was fixed and checked into cvs yesterday. yes, there was a window of time
where it was broken. Should probably bump the version to make sure the new one
gets out there. emerge sync && emerge binutils-config will install the fixed
version, though it will still show up as the same version 1.5
