[Bug 1212008] Re: Perl fix needed
OK, thanks. I guess we'll need to leave this for 13.04 unless someone
else is affected by this bug and is willing to volunteer to see it
through being fixed in the archive. In the meantime, I guess the fix is
trivial enough that others will be able to find this bug and modify
their affected systems manually, so I appreciate you documenting this
issue in this bug.
** Description changed:

The currently shipping awstats is incompatible with perl 5.14. A fix
was applied (correctly) in awstats 7.1.1.

I manually applied the change (adding a caret in the expression) and now
am getting all the expected data rather than having the majority
missing.

[Bug 1212008] Re: Perl fix needed
I have no idea on the other Ubuntu versions as I only use 13.04. I did use awstats on the past, but had been using Google Analytics for over a year. In the comments linked from the report there is another user reporting only coming across the problem on upgrade to 13.04. I didn't provide a patch. It is the diff between awstats 7.1 and 7.1.1 showing what the changes were in addition to fixing this specific issue. ie it is information to help decide between adding a single caret or just updating to 7.1.1. It doesn't matter to me what you do. My setup is working because I edited awstats.pl and added the caret. I don't have a test reproduction for you because the issue is regarded as a bug and experienced by others. That is why there are links in the description and the awstats team made a 7.1.1 release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to awstats in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212008 Title: Perl fix needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awstats/+bug/1212008/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1212008] Re: Perl fix needed
Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Saucy (the development version) is now on 7.1.1~dfsg-1 so I presume the problem is fixed. If you need a fix for an existing stable release, please see the steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure. Am I right in understanding that this bug makes awstats largely unusable in 13.04? ** Changed in: awstats (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to awstats in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212008 Title: Perl fix needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awstats/+bug/1212008/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1212008] Re: Perl fix needed
What happens is that awstats ignores over 99% of your log entries. Note that this is done silently - ie there are no log messages or error codes. It is only after human inspection that you notice it doesn't look right. Even after you get it working again it skips old entries and I don't know how to make it reconsider the ones from the period of ignoring. So it makes awstats dangerous and the output useless. In my case it also deleted the logs because I have PurgeLogFile=1 You should either fix this or remove the package - it is that bad. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to awstats in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212008 Title: Perl fix needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awstats/+bug/1212008/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1212008] Re: Perl fix needed
The only thing needed to fix the bug is the caret in the regular expression. I've attached the diff between 7.1. and 7.1.1 which includes that change, and adds detection of Windows 8. I'd be happy with either change (just the caret or bump to 7.1.1) ** Patch added: Diff between awstats 7.1 and 7.1.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awstats/+bug/1212008/+attachment/3772352/+files/awstats-7.1-to-7.1.1.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to awstats in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212008 Title: Perl fix needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awstats/+bug/1212008/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1212008] Re: Perl fix needed
Perl 5.14 is used in 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04. You've said that 13.04 is affected. Do we know if 12.04 and 12.10 are affected also? We can of course fix the package, and I appreciate you having provided a patch. But we must follow the steps in the SRU procedure I linked, in order to reduce the likelyhood of breaking existing users. I appreciate that you believe that the package is severely broken; the procedure helps us to validate that claim. Are you able to provide a step-by-step test case that demonstrates the problem, please, so that we can test when the problem is fixed? In this case I imagine something like a sample log line that fails to get detected, and step by step instructions to get awstats running against that sample log file, and a grep on the output to check if it has worked correctly would do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to awstats in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212008 Title: Perl fix needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awstats/+bug/1212008/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
