*** /home/steve/tmp/tmpH4sM5n/bug_body
(From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devscripts/+bug/966867)
debsign from devscripts has broken the --debs-dir option:
$ ls -ld ../source
drwxrwxr-x 2 steve steve 4096 Mar 27 23:12 ../source
$ debsign --debs-dir ../source -S
debsign: could not find directory "../source"!
strace'ing debsign shows it trying to do:
15372 stat("\"../source\"", 0x7fffbbc3bba0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
(notice the extra \" in there.)
Looking at the source, when handling the option, it does the following:
--debs-dir)
shift
opt_debsdir="$(echo \"${1%/}\" | sed -e 's%/\+%/%g')"
note that this is slightly different than how the default directory is
generated
DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR="`echo \"$DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR\" | sed -e 's%/\+%/%g;
s%\(.\)/$%\1%;'`"
in that the latter uses shell backticks rather than $() to run
subcommands. This will behave differently, at least under dash:
$ cat dash.sh
#!/bin/sh
FOO="$(echo \"foo bar\")"
BAR="`echo \"foo bar\"`"
$ sh -xe dash.sh
+ echo "foo bar"
+ FOO="foo bar"
+ echo foo bar
+ BAR=foo bar
Bash behaves similarly. Changing the opt_debsdir definition line to the
following:
opt_debsdir="$(echo "${1%/}" | sed -e 's%/\+%/%g')"
(i.e. removing the backslash escaping of ") causes things to work as
expected.
Thanks for considering the patch.
