Package: tiger Version: 1:3.2.2-6 Severity: normal Tags: patch the following error is reported when: 1. executing /usr/lib/tiger/systems/Linux/2/gen_mounts under dash (as /bin/sh) 2. with the cgroup (or any unrecognized) filesystem mounted 3. and not listed in Tiger_FSScan_(|Non)Local
[: 253: Y: unexpected operator it's a simple bashism that probably gets rarely triggered due to gen_mounts accounting for almost every conceivable filesystem type. this might be fixed in newer versions, but this is the newest version in lenny/stable, and i believe should be tagged as such (but reportbug would allow a tag of "lenny" or "stable", though i thought it did previously). i would normally tag this as minor except that every time gen_mounts gets indirectly executed from cron it generates the above error message on stderr which generates an email to me. multiply this times the number of machines it happens on and you see how this is no longer minor flooding my inbox. in creating a patch i realized that setting Tiger_FSScan_NonLocal to "cgroups" works around the problem (which i did anyways as gen_mounts doesn't categorize), but doesn't solve it. corey
