--- Begin Message ---Package: ucf Version: 1.13 Severity: normal This may warrant higher severity; the problem has hung up an apt-get dist-ugprade in midstream. (worked around while filing this report). Symptoms ======== During an apt-get -q dist-upgrade, run inside an emacs shell, the installation of lm-sensors resulted in a 3 way merge possibility. The packaged sensors.conf had changed, and I had edited that file locally. I was offered a menu of 6 choices for how to handle this. When I typed any of the offered numbers (at least 2 or 3), I just got the same prompt again. I also tried "2 2 " at a guess about parsing problems, but it didn't work either. Finally, I just hit enter, and the installation is now proceeding. My defaults (see below) will do what I want, I hope. The command that triggered this appears to be ucf --debconf-ok --three-way /usr/share/lm-sensors/sensors.conf.eg /etc/sensors.conf in /var/lib/dpkg/info/lm-sensors.postinst. Finally, I am running in a virtual terminal (ctl-atl-F2), logged in as root. My /etc/ucf.conf has only comments. set and printenv do not show any LANG or LOCALE variables. It seems to me this same scenario has worked before.... Speculation and attempted diagnosis =================================== It is possible, though unlikely, the problem lies with lm-sensors or something higher up. It is possible this is really a debconf issue. In particular ucf invokes confmodule (I think from line 744 of ucf), which has the following odd looking lines: read -r _LINE # Disgusting, but it's the only good way to split the line, # preserving all other whitespace. RET="${_LINE#[! ][ ]}" return ${_LINE%%[ ]*} Those patterns look a bit odd to me (that's why I tried "2 2 "), but debconf does not appear to have any recent updates in this area. Specifically, won't ${_LINE#[! ][ ]} remove my first character, if it is non-blank? I also note that early on ucf invoked confmodule, which does this: exec 3>&1 1>&2 Perhaps that does something unexpected in an emacs shell? Or maybe a character encoding issue? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (40, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27adnvcd Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- debconf information: * ucf/changeprompt_threeway: keep your currently-installed version ucf/title: * ucf/changeprompt: keep your currently-installed version

[ Joey Hess ] * debconf(7): Clarify reason for libterm-readline-gnu-perl being recommended for users of readline frontend. Closes: #497357 . [ Manpages translations ] * Updated german man page translation. Closes: #492370 * German proofread by Helge Kreutzmann. Copyright fixed to include Florian Rehnisch * Corrected French manpages translation wrt "interactive". Closes: #496555 . [ Debconf translations ] * Hindi updated. * Greek updated. Closes: #498580 . [ Programs translations ] * Hindi updated. * Greek updated. Closes: #498577 . [ Joey Hess ] * debconf.7: Remove whitespace in manrefs. Closes: #498446 . [ Colin Watson ] * Fall back to untranslated fields if asking explicitly for any nonexistent translated field, not just Choices-C. For example, asking for Choices-en.UTF-8 should fall back to Choices if Choices-en.UTF-8 doesn't exist. LP: #271652 * Remove some dead code in Debconf::Template::AUTOLOAD. * Add an AUTHOR section to debconf-escape(1) to make the German po4a translations work better. * Add missing =back to debconf-apt-progress(1)'s OPTIONS section. * Use =head1 in German POD addendum, not =HEAD1. Together with switching output to UTF-8 (below), this fixes various problems with German manual page output. Closes: #492368 * Recode all manual pages to UTF-8 and re-enable Russian manual page generation, now that pod2man has a --utf8 option. Requires perl (>= 5.10.0-16) as bug #500210 broke the Russian pages.
