Package: abcde
Version: 2.3.99.6-1
Severity: normal
in the script there is an environment variable used like this:
if [ "$USEPIPES" = "y" ]; then
REDIR=""
else
REDIR=">&2"
fi
ls >/dev/null $REDIR
the "indirect" redirection in REDIR does not work: if the test on
USEPIPES fails, stdout of the ls command is not redirected to stderr,
the effect is rather that stdout is untouched and the command complains
about the non existing file named ">&2"
on my Debian-unstable system the script works without a problem, I
assume that the reason is that the the test succeeds and the REDIR is
defined empty.
I have tried to run abcde with "-P" (it's the options that forces USEPIPES
to "y") and I get exactly the same behaviour. I did not dig too deep
in the script to understand how to force USEPIPES to "n", meet this
"indirect redirection" and file a more concrete bug report.
I am reporting this as bug anyway because I'm trying to port abcde to
macosx and there the test does not succeed, REDIR is defined as ">&2",
the code using it fails and there I can't use the "-P" option: it says
that piping is not supported by the encoding program.
