--- Begin Message ---Package: console-tools Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-55 Severity: minor Hello, /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh uses in lines 149f the following commands: value=$(egrep "^[^#]*${var}=" /etc/environment | cut -d= -f2) eval $var=$value There ${var} is one of LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE. (keymap.sh uses the same code in lines 45f.) If /etc/environment contains the following lines: LANG=de ERLANG=anything then the code above does two things, which are in my eyes at least undesirable: - both lines are matched by '^[^#]*LANG=' - the string 'LANG=de anything' is eval'd, resulting in the command anything being executed. Something similar happens if the rhs of ERLANG contains more than one word unquoted (and there is no line specifying LANG). Moreover, note that $(...) is not supported by all sh-compatible shells. So I suggest to change the two lines to: value=`egrep "^[[:space:]]*${var}=" /etc/environment | sed -n '$p' | cut -d= -f2-` eval $var='$value' Regards Uwe -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages console-tools depends on: ii console-common 0.7.47 Basic infrastructure for text cons ii debconf 1.4.40 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libconsole 1:0.2.3dbs-55 Shared libraries for Linux console ii sysvinit 2.86-5 System-V like init -- no debconf information
