I worked up a patch to hopefully fix this issue.
Now each multiline entry is added to it's respective key by
appending
a line break and the following multiline entries.
I looked into this issue now (finally, sorry).
No problem, i used a custom version instead, specifically tuned to my
needs.
It seems that
- Parse::Debian::Packages breaks on all multi-line entries,
not just the first one
(tested with random packages, which have a multiline Tag: field
and nothing else)
- Parse::Debian::Packages assumes a body, probably the description,
wich doesn't exist anymore in the Packages file
So this look quite broken :/
I've now adjusted your patch a bit (replaced tabs with whitespace,
removed debug output) and tested it with several packages.
Thank you.
The patch is committed to the package's git repo:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libparse-debian-packages-perl.git
I'd like to have some more review to see if this is the best way to
fix it, and if there are some cases where this might cause problems.
(E.g. I'm no sure when the description was dropped from the Packages
file.)
Which data did you use for your tests? I used
ftp://ftp.tugraz.at/mirror/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
which contains a Description: Field for every packaged in this file.
Cheers,
gregor
Bye, Simon
