Package: nobootloader
Version: 1.12
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
It seems that nobootloader uses still devfs paths for some reason. The
following line :
part="$(($(echo "$bootfs_devfs" | sed 's/[^0-9]*//') - $partition_offset))"
will fail on paths like this one :
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4
Since :
$ echo /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 | sed 's/[^0-9]*//'
0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4
which causes the calculation to result in a division by zero, thus making it
impossible to create a bootable pegasos system.
Please apply the below patch to fix this problem.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
