Package: flac
Version: 1.3.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The jack CD ripper package in debian fails when calling the flac
encoder. This is logged in bug #720782. This happens since the flac
package upgrade to upstream 1.3.0.x
Look at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720782
After some digging, I believe the bug shall be corrected inside flac
which does a divide by zero when not called from a terminal.
file: src/flac/utils.c
function: get_console_width(void)
{
int width = 80;
#if defined _WIN32
width = win_get_console_width();
#elif defined __EMX__
int s[2];
_scrsize (s);
width = s[0];
#elif !defined __ANDROID__
struct winsize w;
if (ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, &w) != -1) width = w.ws_col;
#endif
return width;
}
shoudl be
int get_console_width(void)
{
int width = 80;
[...]
#elif !defined __ANDROID__
struct winsize w;
if (ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, &w) == -1 || w.ws_col == 0 )
width = 80;
else
width = w.ws_col;
#endif
return width;
}
this way we always have a default at 80 chars.
Hope this helps,
Ced
