Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-9
Severity: grave
"sysctl -a" and "sysctl -A" prepend a bogus "hello" to their output.
This will break scripts that parse sysctl output.
,----
| $ /sbin/sysctl -a
| hellokernel.sched_min_granularity_ns = 4000000
| kernel.sched_latency_ns = 20000000
| kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns = 10000000
| kernel.sched_child_runs_first = 1
| kernel.sched_features = 895
`----
The culprit is apparently a debug printf() statement introduced in
debian/patches/10_sysctl_options.dpatch:
+ if (DisplayAllOpt) {
+ printf("hello");
+ if (Quiet)
+ return Usage(me);
+ return DisplayAll(PROC_PATH);
+ }
Cheers,
