Bug#528007: update-exim4.conf only works with LC_ALL=C
Package: exim4-config Version: 4.69-10 Severity: grave I got this error updating exim4-daemon-light on un unstable machine. The result was a machine without exim running. When executing the command /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf (automatically started from /etc/init.d/exim4) I get an error from sed command. If I execute the same command using sh -x prefix, I get these messages: + dc_other_hostnames=sgi.lixper.it ++ echo @:localhost:sgi.lixper.it ++ sed -e 's�[;: ]*$��' -e 's� *��' -e 's�;�:�g' sed: espressione -e #1, carattere 2: delimiter character is not a single-byte character + local_domains= sgi:/etc/exim4# My locale is it_IT.UTF-8. When executing env LC_ALL=C sh -x update-exim4.conf then it pass correctly that line, as shown here: + dc_other_hostnames=sgi.lixper.it ++ echo @:localhost:sgi.lixper.it ++ sed -e 's�[;: ]*$��' -e 's� *��' -e 's�;�:�g' + local_domains=@:localhost:sgi.lixper.it ++ tempfile -m600 -p ex4 + UPEX4C_internal_tmp=/tmp/ex4HpcyQS Bye, Giuseppe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#528007: update-exim4.conf only works with LC_ALL=C
I wrote a small patch for this bug:

but I unsure if a better patch would be check for ${dc_other_hostnames}
for non ascii characters, like in:
===
matches=$(echo ${dc_other_hostnames} | egrep -c '^[A-Za-z0-9.:@-]*$')
if [ $matches -ne 1 ]
then
error
fi
local_domains=$(echo @:localhost:${dc_other_hostnames} | \
sed -e 's|[;: ]*$||' -e 's| *||' -e 's|;|:|g')

Bye,
