Package: ucf Version: 1.17 Severity: important Hi,
if ucf is called to register/install a file that has a double slash in the path, it does that just fine: Just as the shell does (or: most shells do?), it handles the double separator as if it were single. However, it doesn't clean up the path before registering, and therefore the double slash is also in the filenahme database, like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# cat /var/lib/ucf/hashfile 2f1ad364c25bfd8dcee21c2d6ea97a3a /etc/papersize cf5cd8fb29d16f191a82992a112010e1 /etc/texmf/fmt.d//01tetex.cnf [...] The problem with that is that when the postrm script does not add the double slash when calling "ucf --purge", the file will not be unregistered, and after purging the package it will not be recreated upon reinstallation. I think ucf should either refuse to work on pathnames with double slashes completely, or it should handle them completely transparent.
