The following issue has been CLOSED ====================================================================== https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=1101 ====================================================================== Reported By: james Assigned To: bwalton ====================================================================== Project: findutils Issue ID: 1101 Category: regular use Reproducibility: sometimes Severity: tweak Priority: normal Status: closed Resolution: open Fixed in Version: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2005-07-26 18:10 CEST Last Modified: 2011-07-02 19:32 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: gupdatedb mktemp and ! Description: This started as a request for mktemp but even with mktemp gupdatedb needs a tweak. Without CSWmktemp: $ gupdatedb --old-format Warning: future versions of findutils will shortly discontinue support for the old locate database format. /opt/csw/bin/gupdatedb: mktemp: not found /opt/csw/bin/gupdatedb: !: not found /opt/csw/bin/gupdatedb: mktemp: not found /opt/csw/bin/gupdatedb: !: not found
Install CSWmktemp which is not in the findutils depend list and it still fails: $ gupdatedb --old-format Warning: future versions of findutils will shortly discontinue support for the old locate database format. /opt/csw/bin/gupdatedb: !: not found /opt/csw/bin/gupdatedb: !: not found becasue the ! is not /bin/sh, I guess the was written for a system that emulated sh with something else, probably bash. #!/bin/ksh at the top will fix it. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0009056) james (developer) - 2011-05-16 10:56 https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=1101#c9056 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The date on the POSIX reference is 2004 and this bug was registered in 2005. It is highly likely at that time, using Solaris 8, /bin/sh was not POSIX compliment. Whether it was or not is not relevant to the fact of the matter being that gupdatedb failed on a target system and was fixable using the suggestion I made in 2005. On Solaris 9, the current base system, gupdatedb appear to works. Is this proof that if reports are ignored for long enough there exists a probability that bugs will fix themselves? And if we wait long enough this bug report could morph into the complete works of Shakespeare. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0009175) bwalton (manager) - 2011-07-02 19:32 https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=1101#c9175 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Closing this since it only affects Solaris 8 which is not supported any longer. -Ben _______________________________________________ bug-notifications mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-notifications
