Bug 93359 – sys-fs/udev-056 - incorrect bash line in cdsymlinks.sh

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Trenton D. Adams 2005-05-20 12:23:30 UTC]

Someone is using assignment operator rather than equality operator in
cdsymlinks.sh.  I just updated my system, and the config file diff shows that
line 162 is being changed to something incorrect.  It previous did the following...
test "$COUNT" -eq 0;

and now does the following

test "$COUNT" = ''

That's an assignment operator instead of an equality operator.  Someone should
fix that because I doubt it will work.  I never updated my configuration as a
result.  I think the person's intention was like so...

test "$COUNT" == ""

Sorry, but I´ve just run out of crystal balls, so clarify what ebuild are you
talking about and reopen then.

Please work with the upstream author of the cdsymlinks script, as he has
had a bunch of changes with it recently.  That way your fix will make it
into the main udev release.
