Package: watchdog Version: 5.6-1 Severity: normal
I was configuring watchdog for my system, and was getting strange complaints about invalid lines in the config file. After a little investigation, I discovered that the config parser has a default maximum line length of 80. Two observations: 1) This seems foolishly short 2) If a line is encountered that is too long, it should report that as a specific error, and not try to parse the rest of the line as if it were a new line. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29.3-1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages watchdog depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii makedev 2.3.1-88 creates device files in /dev ii udev 0.141-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo watchdog recommends no packages. watchdog suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * watchdog/restart: true * watchdog/module: softdog * watchdog/run: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
