Bug#375349: autoconf: puts |#_!!_#| in output files
Package: autoconf Version: 2.59.cvs.2006.05.13-1 Severity: important Newer autoconf versions seem to use |#_!!_#| as an internal separator during the AC_OUTPUT phase; this is supposed to be sedded away again at the very end, but for some reason it doesn't; see for instance #373953, where it's creeping into PREFIX and whatnot. I've verified that this doesn't happen in 2.59a-9; it surfaced in the first CVS version in the archive (2.59.cvs.2006.05.13-1). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16trofastxen Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages autoconf depends on: ii debianutils 2.16.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii m41.4.4-1a macro processing language ii perl 5.8.8-6Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages autoconf recommends: ii automake1.4 [automaken] 1:1.4-p6-10 A tool for generating GNU Standard ii automake1.7 [automaken] 1.7.9-8 A tool for generating GNU Standard ii automake1.8 [automaken] 1.8.5-4 A tool for generating GNU Standard ii automake1.9 [automaken] 1.9.6-4 A tool for generating GNU Standard -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Confirmed with 2.59.cvs.2006.05.13-1. I'll follow up on #373953. Have you seen this or a similar issue with any other packages?

I checked this, and it's not a bug in autoconf, IMO. mkconfig.rb parses config.status for s,,, lines, duplicating them to create another configuration file, but it doesn't understand the |#_!!_#| trick. I simply made it sed it away itself, and the package was fixed. Decide for yourself if you want to close this as "not a bug", or if you actually think it should be changed back in autoconf. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
