Package: apt-dater
Version: 0.7.0-1~bpo50+1
Severity: important
apt-dater fails to install/upgrade packages and to start a command
shell, when the MAINTAINER environment variable is not set and the GECOS
field of the logged in user contains a '+', for example in the telephone
number.
The started screen session fails with:
Cannot exec 'everything after the + in GECOS field': No such file or
directory
e. g.
Cannot exec '49-123-456789,': No such file or directory
Workaround:
Set and export MAINTAINER variable before starting apt-dater.
Regards
Alex
