--- Begin Message ---Package: ledger Version: 3.3.0-3 Tags: upstream Hi, according to the manual page, ledger print can be used to reformat a ledger file. As such I expect it to produce valid ledger syntax. The following trips it up: $ printf "bucket X\n2222/11/11 c\n Y 1\n" bucket X 2222/11/11 c Y 1 $ printf "bucket X\n2222/11/11 c\n Y 1\n" | ledger -f - print 2222/11/11 c Y 1 $ printf "bucket X\n2222/11/11 c\n Y 1\n" | ledger -f - print | ledger -f - print; echo $? While parsing file "", line 2: While balancing transaction from streamed input: Unbalanced remainder is: 1 Amount to balance against: 1 Error: Transaction does not balance 1 $ As you can see in the second command, the bucket stanza is dropped, but the transaction is not balanced using the X bucket. Thus the third invocation fails. I think ledger print should either retain the bucket stanza or balance the transaction using the default bucket. Please consider adding an autopkgtest or unittest for this issue. Helmut
