It takes one minute and saves everyone else time. I cannot tell you what to do with your time. But frankly every one of us even following up on reports has »more than enough other stuff to keep her/him busy«. And most of the time it is just a matter if you take the time, which unfortunately I had to do now. By the way, if it is quicker you can also download the mbox file of one message from the »mbox« link on the HTML bug report page.

There seemed to be lots of times where trailiing whitespace caused problems for people in Perl, so that is one thing I look at.

I don't get any mboxen. Did you run the command? `bts` is in package `devscripts`. Normally mutt opens automatically, but you can exit with `q` right away.

I now get 3 mystery files from initscripts causing problems. I looked at all the files from initscripts that install in init.d/ There are 6 files which do not have a last line which starts with a full colon. One that does has : exit 0 There are 6 files where the first executable line is not PATH= There are 6 files where the first non-empty line after ### END INIT INFO line is a comment line. There are 5 or 6 lines in the INIT INFO area, where there is no argument to the field, but there is whitespace after the full colon. I believe two of the files have a tab as the trailing whitespace, the remainder having a single space as the trailing whitespace. I think one file has both (one of each). Without knowing what your program is looking for, that is all I can guess at. Time to get back to writing a presentation on NORM.

Gordon, thank for the follow up. In the future please add the addresses of all people who responded in that bug thread to CC. Even better, import the messages from the mbox you get with bts show --mbox 676463 and reply to the appropriate message to keep the threading and ease the life of everyone.

Please find the scripts attached.
