Package: zhcon Version: 1:0.2.6-10 Maintainer: Aron Xu Bugs: The "zhcon" executable fails to launch. Porject: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/chinese/zhcon.git/ Buggy patch link: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/chinese/zhcon.git/commit/?id=c3237304f3dcfee82ccb44e18b015633a03f724e
Bug description: The "0008-default-to-utf8.patch" file is a buggy patch, it causes the failure of launching the "zhcon" executable. Please remove the patch. Technical infomation: The maintainer Aron Xu has misunderstood the usage of "getopt_long" function, and therefore the code below in the patch "0008-default-to-utf8.patch": static struct option long_options[] = { { "help", 0, NULL, 'h' }, { "version", 0, NULL, 'V' }, { "utf8", 0, NULL, 1 }, { "drv", 1, NULL, 0 }, { NULL, 0, NULL, 0 } }; causes the "getopt_long" returns 1 while you use the "--utf8" switch, and then the "switch-case" runs into "default" label and causes the entire program exits abnormally. If you do not add the "--utf8" switch, the code in below in line number 247: if (strcmp (long_options[option_index].name, "utf8") == 0) cause failure to run into the if-clause and therefore unable to set the UTF-8 locale.
