Package: libdpkg-perl
Version: 1.18.25
Severity: normal
$ perl -we 'use Data::Dumper; print Dumper($SIG{INT})'
$VAR1 = undef;
$ perl -we 'use Data::Dumper; use Dpkg::Source::Package; print
Dumper($SIG{INT})'
$VAR1 = sub { "DUMMY" };
$
This is a problem because when a SIGINT handler is installed, perl
will not immediately exit when it is in some other C library.
For example,
$ perl -we 'use Data::Dumper; use WWW::Curl::Easy; my $curl =
WWW::Curl::Easy->new; $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, "http://192.0.2.1";);
$curl->perform()'
^C [returns prompt immediately]
$ perl -we 'use Data::Dumper; use WWW::Curl::Easy; use Dpkg::Source::Package;
my $curl = WWW::Curl::Easy->new; $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL,
"http://192.0.2.1";); $curl->perform()'
^C [hangs]
If libdpkg-perl needs a signal handler it should install it only
during its own operations, probably localising it and arranging to
chain to the original handler (if any) when it has done its own work.
But I doubt the necessity.
Thanks,
Ian.
