in 2.0.51.20 etc-update is broken in scan(): - sed -e "s:\(^.*/\)\(._cfg*_\)\(/.*$\):\1\2\3\%\2\%\3:" | ^ ^ ^ + sed -e "s:\(^.*/\)\(\._cfg[0-9]*_\)\(\.*$\):\1\2\3\%\2\%\3:" | next i would adjust the locales settings so `cut` doesn't break (from sys-apps/coreutils-5.2.1-r5): | # echo a%b%c | LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 cut -f1 -d'%' | | # echo a%b%c | LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=POSIX cut -f1 -d'%' | a
This code hasn't changed since etc-update was added to portage in version 2.0.35. Strangely enough, there have been no reports that I'm aware of until now. Did etc-update actually misbehave for you or was it just spotted when looking at the code?
Jason, i found it while investigating this: [...] * IMPORTANT: 1 config files in /etc need updating. * Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files. # etc-update Scanning Configuration files... Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :) It is a problem with my setup, locale or UTF-8 in general. cut doesn't work correctly (or as expected -- `echo a | cut -f1 -d'%'` returns nothing -- see comment #0). Why have there been no reports before? Maybe the sorting stuff is not really important? With a correct sed expression the config files are sorted by name and then by cfg_$number. With the unmatching sed expression they are ordered by find output. As you've already spotted: (/.*$\) -> (\.*$) is wrong. Should be (.*$).
Upgrading to sys-apps/coreutils-5.2.1-r6 fixes the cut problem: # echo a%b%c | LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 cut -f1 -d'%' a
portage-2.0.51.21-r1
Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1
Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after the initial fix was committed. If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that it be reopened.
