Package: perforate Version: 1.2-5 Severity: important The "oldresult" function of finddup is totally broken.
To test it, make a test directory: # mkdir test # echo "hello" > "test/file 1" # echo "hello" > "test/file 2" Run finddup in dryrun mode and get its output: # finddup -n -v -l -i -d test >finddup.out Rerun it and use --oldresult # finddup -v -l -i -d test -o finddup.out And see it's weird output: L�nge: 2.3 Files: test/file 2 L�nge: 2.3 Files: L�nge: 6 Files: test/file 1 Use of uninitialized value $reffile in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/finddup line 87, <> line 3. L�nge: 2.3 Files: And files in test directory are not linked correctly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (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 perforate depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries perforate recommends no packages. perforate suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
