Bug#764547: bsdutils: script(1) is broken, hangs or crashes

Lets try to work it out ourselfs as well though... Hi, as I reported upstream in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/1 the script(1) in util-linux 2.25.1 is broken, whereas the one in util-linux 2.20.1 as currently in jessie works fine. This applies to both my x32 regular machine as well as a clean, minimal amd64 and i386 cowbuilder sid chroot, as well as the OpenSuSE Buildservice setup. Since you seem to have a way to reproduce the problem, could you please also git bisect it? This bug opened in Debian to prevent a crashing script(1) from migrating to testing, and to track progress. (I don't see this as anything else then just yet another bug in script. I don't understand why your issue would be more important then getting 200 other issues fixed for other people.)

Andreas Henriksson dixit: Since you seem to have a way to reproduce the problem, could you please also git bisect it? Not this week ☹ also, never worked with that before, I’d have to learn it first. Unless it can be automated? If the result of script contains “Total passed”, it worked, otherwise not. bye, //mirabilos -- 21:49⎜allamoox:#sendmail I have a question guys, ⎜Can I use my PC as SMTP server, I use Windows 7 . ⎜Already googled and Installed IIS ⎜but Still I can't send E-mail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

If the result of script contains “Total passed”, it worked, otherwise not. git bisect is a way to automate manual tasks, so I'm not sure how to make it more automated (or what you question really is).

Bug#764547: bsdutils: script(1) is broken, hangs or crashes
Control: tags -1 unreproducible moreinfo Control: severity -1 normal Hello! I'm not able to build the old version because of #764580 but since script has no external dependencies just reverting the changes in term-utils/script.c should be enough: git diff v2.20.1..v2.25.1 term-utils/script.c | patch -p1 -R Building this does not result in any behavioural change for me. I also tried installing bsdutils 2.20.1-5.11 and saw no change in behaviour there either. That there are bugs in script is no news (see other bug reports) and, partially because of that and partially because of being unreproducible and partially because script by itself doesn't make bsdutils unusable, I'm setting the severity to be in line with the rest. Additional information to help resolve or atleaste reproduce welcome. Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

But thanks for the quick explanation. PS. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=764580 Ouch! Does using m4 from jessie or even wheezy help? bye, //mirabilos -- “ah that reminds me, thanks for the stellar entertainment that you and certain other people provide on the Debian mailing lists │ sole reason I subscribed to them (I'm not using Debian anywhere) is the entertainment factor │ Debian does not strike me as a place for good humour, much less German admin-style humour” -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
