Package: live-build Version: 1:20191221 Owner: jnq...@gmail.com the echo helpers almost entirely do not explicitly direct their output to stdout/stderr, and failing to do so means that in some use cases (specifically use in functions whose purpose is to return a string (by echoing it)) things go wrong with log messages (after all these after effectively all logging functions) not making it to the console as they should.
this could perhaps have been merged with #952878 which is specifically about the error echo helper sending part of its output to stderr but not all... patch to be submitted via salsa shortly (will amend commit with bug number first)
