Bug#970580: licenseutils: Memory access error

[handsome_feng]

Tags: patch


Hi,

I found this error is caused by the gpl url redirected from
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-1.0 to
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-1.0,


so I added the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION to tell libcurl to follow redirection.


Regards,

Bug#970580: licenseutils: Memory access error

[Mechtilde Stehmann]

Package: licenseutils
Version: 0.0.9-3+b1:
Severity: grave

I want to work out the different tools checking the license for
packaging as described at

https://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReviewTools

At the first start I got

licensing gpl: got unexpected response code 302 from
www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt

I also tested more options and get "Memory access error"

No option gives a result
