Package: amanda-server
Version: 1:2.5.1p1-2.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/amoverview
Tags: patch
Hello again! I have another one-liner fix for amanda-server's
amoverview script. I would have included it in the previous bug
report (#447982), but it only shows up after a failed dump.
Symptom:
amoverview does not reports errors (E).
Analysis:
This bug will only be apparent if earlier Debian Bug #447982 is
corrected. The amoverview perl script uses the quotewords()
function to parse the output of "amadmin find". quotewords()
stumbles on strings with apostrophes (e.g. "can't dump no-hold disk
in degraded mode") which are interpreted as single quotes that open
but never close and returns an empty list.
Correction:
One line in perl script (attached patch) will escape single quotes
(apostrophes) as "\'" before calling quotewords(). This patch is
applied to sources after the patch from Bug #447982.
Caveat:
I am unaware of instances where single-quoted strings would appear
in the "amadmin find" results. Looking though server-src/find.c, I
see no place where results are quoted.
Best regards,
Stephen Benoit
