Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools
In order to pass an argument to the underlying pbuilder, for example, --extramirror, any quotes must be escaped by the user. It seems that one level of quotes are stripped by pbuilder-dist for the "remaining arguments" which is less than ideal. Example: Problem: r...@gamma:~/srctrees/ubuntu$ pbuilder-dist dapper login --othermirror 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiword-stable/ppa/ubuntu dapper main' -> Logging to /home/ryan/pbuilder/dapper_result/last_operation.log Building the build Environment -> extracting base tarball [/home/ryan/pbuilder/dapper-base.tgz] -> creating local configuration -> copying local configuration -> Installing apt-lines -> mounting /proc filesystem -> mounting /dev/pts filesystem -> policy-rc.d already exists Obtaining the cached apt archive contents -> entering the shell File extracted to: /var/cache/pbuilder/build//22363 cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse #deb-src http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse Problem worked around: r...@gamma:~/srctrees/ubuntu$ pbuilder-dist dapper login --othermirror \'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiword-stable/ppa/ubuntu dapper main\' -> Logging to /home/ryan/pbuilder/dapper_result/last_operation.log Building the build Environment -> extracting base tarball [/home/ryan/pbuilder/dapper-base.tgz] -> creating local configuration -> copying local configuration -> Installing apt-lines -> mounting /proc filesystem -> mounting /dev/pts filesystem -> policy-rc.d already exists Obtaining the cached apt archive contents -> entering the shell File extracted to: /var/cache/pbuilder/build//24285 cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiword-stable/ppa/ubuntu dapper main deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse #deb-src http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse ** Affects: ubuntu-dev-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- quotes in remaining arguments to pbuilder-dist must be escaped https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
