Description Jason Bucata 2005-05-29 01:59:56 UTC
Running euse, with no or any arguments, fails thusly:

readlink: too many arguments
Try `readlink --help' for more information.
./euse.orig: line 199: /make.defaults: No such file or directory
readlink: too many arguments
Try `readlink --help' for more information.
./euse.orig: line 199: /make.defaults: No such file or directory
readlink: too many arguments
Try `readlink --help' for more information.
readlink: too many arguments
Try `readlink --help' for more information.
ERROR: /make.defaults is not readable

Problem is that on line 157, the grep should be an egrep to handle the regular expression to filter comments in the "parent" files.

Patch available upon request, although in the time it would take you to request it, you could easily whip out vi and make the change by hand ;).
