Hi, This bug is a consequence of the removal of various set +u/set -u in commit f671341b70f8edaaa63704b73fd760ef013fa504.
The bug #369953 has not been resolved then the workarounds set up waiting for its resolution should not be removed (or the set -u should also be removed from the entire script). Please find a patch reverting this changes. Regards, -- Jonathan Dupart
