Package: debianutils Version: 2.16.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
/usr/bin/sensible-editor tries to run a few editors in turn, but only exits with the exit state given by that editor if it happens to be the editor in the $VISUAL environment variable. Interesting information gets lost this way, and it makes the exit state to be something one cannot programmatically depend on, so I consider this a bug. The following patch fixes this behaviour to always exit sensible-editor with the exit state of the invoked editor. --- sensible-editor.orig 2006-06-30 07:02:19.000000000 +0200 +++ sensible-editor 2006-06-30 07:02:36.000000000 +0200 @@ -29,3 +29,4 @@ fi fi fi +exit $ret -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-powerpc Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages debianutils depends on: ii coreutils 5.96-5 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii mktemp 1.5-2 Makes unique filenames for tempora debianutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
