Package: pmount
Version: 0.9.23-3+b1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
bash completion for pmount hangs. The problem is in grepping stdin in
line 62 of /etc/bash_completion.d/pmount:
devices="$( command ls $(grep -v '^[[:space:]]*#' /etc/pmount.allow )
$(grep 1 /sys/block/*/removable | sed -e
's,/sys/block/,/dev/,;s,/removable:1,*,') 2>/dev/null | sort -u | sed -e
's,\(^/dev/\)\(.*\),\1\2 \2,' ; grep $mdir /proc/mounts | sed -e
's,.*\($mdir/[^ ]*\).*,\1,' )"
Variable mdir is not set, so «grep $mdir /proc/mounts» expands to
«grep /proc/mounts» where «/proc/mounts» treated as pattern, not file
name. So script blocks until ^C or ^D is pressed.
Fix: replace line with the following to remove this strange grepping:
devices="$( command ls $(grep -v '^[[:space:]]*#' /etc/pmount.allow )
$(grep 1 /sys/block/*/removable | sed -e
's,/sys/block/,/dev/,;s,/removable:1,*,') 2>/dev/null | sort -u | sed -e
's,\(^/dev/\)\(.*\),\1\2 \2,' )"
