--- Begin Message ---Package: libunix-syslog-perl Version: 0.100-4 Severity: important Tags: patch Sys:Syslog perl module appends \0 character to each line before sending it to syslog. Consequently each line in logfile which is logged with this interface (via syslog-ng 1.6.5-2.2 in my case) has \0 character appended at the end. The result is quite annoying while trying to analyse logfiles using eg. grep which prints: "Binary file mail.log matches" insteaf of matching lines. The Sys:Syslog interface is used eg. by spamd, pop-before-smtp and others thus it is rather importatnt issue on my system. Bellow I attach the patch which removes this problem. However it is not well tested, I don't know if it causes other problems and why the \0 character was appended to the log line. --- Sys/Syslog.pm.orig 2005-12-29 13:12:33.000000000 +0100 +++ Sys/Syslog.pm 2005-12-29 13:15:20.000000000 +0100 @@ -312,7 +312,7 @@ $message = sprintf ($mask, @_); $sum = $numpri + $numfac; - my $buf = "<$sum>$whoami: $message\0"; + my $buf = "<$sum>$whoami: $message"; # it's possible that we'll get an error from sending # (e.g. if method is UDP and there is no UDP listener, -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.31-grsec-pom-imq Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages libunix-syslog-perl depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.8.4] 5.8.4-8 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis -- no debconf information
