Package: amanda-common
Version: 1:2.5.2p1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/amstatus
Tags: patch
amstatus contains an error in it's error output for non-existing
configurations.
How to reproduce:
-----------------
Assuming that /etc/amanda/whatever does not exist
# amstatus whatever
Argument "whatever" isn't numeric in division (/) at /usr/sbin/amstatus
line 75.
Argument "/etc/amanda" isn't numeric in division (/) at /usr/sbin/amstatus
line 75.
Illegal division by zero at /usr/sbin/amstatus line 75.
The error:
----------
Line 75:
print "Configuration directory '" . $confdir/$conf . "' doesn't exist\n";
This is a division of $confdir and $conf, but that's not what
was wanted. (The same error is on line 79.)
Fix:
-------
"$confdir/$conf" is trusted in the rest of the program, so we
can simply fold them back into the doublequote:
