Package: moreutils Version: 0.49 Severity: grave vidir will abort, discarding the edited name list, on a parsing error:
michael@terra:~/x$ mkdir vidir-test michael@terra:~/x$ cd vidir-test/ michael@terra:~/x/vidir-test$ ls michael@terra:~/x/vidir-test$ touch a b c d e michael@terra:~/x/vidir-test$ vidir . [add a suffix like ".foo" to all filenames] [delete the number 2 in front of b.foo] [save and exit] /usr/bin/vidir: unable to parse line " ./b.foo", aborting Only file "a" will have been renamed, and the temporary name list that had been edited will have been deleted. vidir should either reopen the editor on error (maybe with comments at the top and above the bad lines) or save a copy of the edited list in the working directory. I have occasionally encountered this problem after spending a long time editing a large directory, and have had to redo my work because of it. I'm therefore marking the bug 'grave', although I'm not sure whether the severity is meant to cover this kind of metadata loss. - Michael -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.8-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages moreutils depends on: ii libc6 2.17-7 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii perl 5.14.2-21 moreutils recommends no packages.
