Package: cvs Version: 1:1.12.13-12 Severity: important When CVS detects an error while printing an error message, it reports this situation to syslog with level LOG_EMERG, so the (rather useless) message gets broadcasted to all logged-in users.
The culprit lies in the error() function in src/error.c: | #if HAVE_SYSLOG_H | /* Syslog the problem since recursion probably means that we encountered an | * error while attempting to send the last error message to the client. | */ | | syslog (LOG_DAEMON | LOG_EMERG, | "error (%d, %d) called recursively. Original message was:", | last_status, last_errnum); | syslog (LOG_DAEMON | LOG_EMERG, "%s", last_message); | | | syslog (LOG_DAEMON | LOG_EMERG, | "error (%d, %d) called recursively. Second message was:", | status, errnum); | syslog (LOG_DAEMON | LOG_EMERG, "%s", buf2); | | syslog (LOG_DAEMON | LOG_EMERG, "Aborting."); | #endif /* HAVE_SYSLOG_H */ I think that it would be better to disable this piece of code completely. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cvs depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-runtime 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii update-inetd 4.31 inetd configuration file updater ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cvs recommends: ii emacs [info-browser] 22.2+2-5 The GNU Emacs editor (metapackage) ii emacs22 [info-browse 22.2+2-5 The GNU Emacs editor ii info [info-browser] 4.11.dfsg.1-4 Standalone GNU Info documentation ii jed [info-browser] 1:0.99.18+dfsg.1-11 editor for programmers (textmode v ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii pinfo [info-browser] 0.6.9-3 An alternative info-file viewer cvs suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
