SRU request: [Impact]
* As a result of this bug, systems whose card has a bus id containing numbers such as "08" or "09" numbers will trigger an error in printf where it treats these string values with leading zeros as octal. This causes the postinst script to fail. [Test Case] * Enable the precise-proposed or the saucy-proposed repository and install nvidia-prime (0.4.2~hybrid0.0.1 in precise or 0.4.2~hybrid0.1 in saucy). * If the package can be installed without errors, then the fix is correct. * Alternatively, you can launch the attached script as follows, you'll be able to reproduce the issue: sh printf_test.sh reproduce You can then test the fix by running the attached script without any arguments: sh printf_test.sh [Regression Potential] * The regression potential here is zero. As the attached script demonstrates. ** Attachment added: "printf_test.sh" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1219650/+attachment/3888704/+files/printf_test.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-prime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219650 Title: Failed to install on 12.04.3 , /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia- prime.postinst: 36: printf: 08: not completely converted Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-prime” source package in Precise: In Progress Status in “nvidia-prime” source package in Saucy: In Progress Bug description: Encountered this problem during install nvidia driver by using jockey, then verified using apt-get install nvidia-prime, received following messages: $ sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime Reading package lists...
