Package: libspreadsheet-parseexcel-perl Version: 0.3200-2 Severity: normal
I got some irritating warnings from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.pm: Character in 'c' format wrapped in pack at /usr/share/perl5/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm line 1792. Character in 'c' format wrapped in pack at /usr/share/perl5/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm line 1796. After searching the web I found one suggestion to change 'c' to 'U', after all, I'm using unicode strings. That change silenced it. Don't know if this will have any bad effects on other strings. --- /tmp/ParseExcel.pm 2008-08-20 14:44:25.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/share/perl5/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm 2008-08-20 14:44:34.000000000 +0200 @@ -1789,11 +1789,11 @@ # http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=18063 my $u31 = unpack("c",substr($sWk, 3, 1)) & 0xFC; $u31 |= 0xFFFFFF00 if ($u31 & 0x80); # raise neg bits for neg 1-byte value - substr($sWk, 3, 1) &= pack('c', $u31); + substr($sWk, 3, 1) &= pack('U', $u31); my $u01 = unpack("c",substr($lWk, 0, 1)) & 0xFC; $u01 |= 0xFFFFFF00 if ($u01 & 0x80); # raise neg bits for neg 1-byte value - substr($lWk, 0, 1) &= pack('c', $u01); + substr($lWk, 0, 1) &= pack('U', $u01); return ($iF, unpack("d", ($BIGENDIAN)? $sWk .
