Hi Mehdi / Release Team I am resending this.
I need to make a one-line patch to nama to fix a critical shell-syntax issue for default squeeze installation with /bin/dash as system shell. The current syntax is incompatible with dash. c.f. Bug#599693. Specifically for file lib/Audio/Nama.pm, line 1366 < my $redirect = "2>&1>/dev/null &"; > my $redirect = ">/dev/null &"; Thanks! -- Joel Roth
--- Begin Message ---Hi Mehdi, Nama was bitten by a bash/dash syntax issue. Bug#599693: nama: Startup fails because socket creation fails In short, the audio engine (ecasound) won't start with dash as the system shell. According to Debian maintainer Jonathan Nieder, it is actually a dash bug: Bug #599871 dash: shell redirect syntax fails via perl "system" command It is a minor issue for dash, but a serious one for Nama. Could you please unblock nama to permit me to upload a one-line patch? The new version will be 1.064-6. Regards, Joel -- Joel Roth
