Package: live-build
Version: 3.0.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer,
the #nif conditional in a package list configuration file does not work as
expected.
If the live build configuration variable "ABC" contains "X Y Z",
you expect the "#nif ABC X" conditional to be false,
but this is not the case.
This is caused by an invalid logic used to test the conditional. The logic
as implemented starts of assuming the condition is false. It then compares
each condition argument with each item in the content of the condition
config variable and turns the condition on whenever a condition argument
is different from an item in the condition config variable.
To prevent false positives the logic should be turned around: the logic
should assume the condition to be *true* and turn the condition *off*
whenever a condition argument *is equal to* an item in the condition
config variable.
