After installing gnome-games 2.4.0, I found that etc-update would crash when
trying to overwrite my /etc/sound/events/gnobots2.soundlist as requested.
_All other file merges seem to be fine._ Etc-update just does not like this
one file. Installing additional items and then going back does not seem to
affect this behavour. Reinstalling portage does not solve this problem.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
(Using KDE's Konsole)
# etc-update
Scanning Configuration files...
The following is the list of files which need updating, each
configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files.
1) /etc/cups/printers.conf
/etc/cups/._cfg0000_printers.conf
2) /etc/sound/events/gnobots2.soundlist
/etc/sound/events/._cfg0000_gnobots2.soundlist
Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number.
(-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all remaining files)
(-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i'): 2

1) Replace original with update
2) Delete update, keeping original as is
3) Interactively merge original with update
4) Show differences again

token is "1")
Exiting: User termination!
Actual Results:
etc-update crashed as shown
Expected Results:
etc-update should have prompted to confirm overwriting the file, and then
overwrote it with the new version.

I can confirm that I have the same problem here. I have gone through several Gnome compile cycles over the past year, keeping the config files that caused the problem. Over the past few months, I have tried to reproduce this bug, but it has not occurred even with Portage 2.0.51-r14. I seem to recall the introduction of using less as a pager to view the diff happened sometime in the past year; perhaps that fixed or is masking the issue. Is anyone still seeing signs this exist, or similar problems that the bug should remain open? Or should it be closed now after a year of sitting idle? Using less (or any other pager) would be masking this issue. Something in the file must be being misinterpreted by the terminal. You can get a similar affect by cat'ing /dev/urandom and then Ctrl-C'ing. You'd also get reports of syntax errors in stuff you didn't type. I'll close this bug though as it no longer affects anybody. There is another bug related to etc-update misinterpreting invalid input. For example, pressing "right" and then backspacing the codes will cause the same error as you've got here. When that is fixed, this will be fully fixed along with it. |
