Public bug reported: When two package stanzas in debian/control are divided by a whitespace- line rather than an empty line
i.e. "\n \n" instead of "\n\n" wrap-and-sort fails to parse the control file and instead swallows one of the packages. It should: a) not fail to parse that to begin with, since dpkg itself accepts this just fine b) not remove duplicated fields in a stanza but error out refusing to do the sort at all b-1) alternatively the tool should be renamed to wrap-and-sort-and-cleanup Also see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu- devel/2014-September/008753.html ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: devscripts 2.14.6 [modified: usr/bin/wrap-and-sort] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-22.29-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Thu Oct 16 08:29:01 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-29 (351 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) SourcePackage: devscripts UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: devscripts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1381898 Title: wrap-and-sort eats package stanzas To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devscripts/+bug/1381898/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
