Package: minicom Version: 2.3~rc1-2 Severity: normal
In the manual page for minicom, there is an example how to set up the MINICOM variable to give minicom commandline arguments without the need to give it to the cmd line everytime. The example is wrong: the apostrophes which are used here have completely different meaning in the shell then quoting the arguments. Used: MINICOM=’-m -c on’ Must be: MINICOM='-m -c on' I found this bug when copying this line to the terminal and executing it. (here is the error message: bash: -c: command not found) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages minicom depends on: ii libc6 2.7-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080203-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages minicom recommends: ii lrzsz 0.12.21-4.1 Tools for zmodem/xmodem/ymodem fil -- no debconf information
