Package: module-assistant
Version: 0.9.8
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/m-a
/usr/share/modass/packages/generic.sh uses tar incorrectly; it assumes
that the default archive to extract is on stdin, whereas the TAPE
environment variable overrides that.
The line:
action bzcat $tarball | action tar xv
should be:
action bzcat $tarball | action tar xvf -
or perhaps better:
action tar xv --bzip2 $tarball
An example session demonstrating the problem follows. This was run
after a successful installation (which had unset TAPE); I see that
despite the error module-assistant continues with the installation.
Maybe that's an error too.
