Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: multitail
"multitail" program asserts when passing non existing file names. Bug
is easily 100% reproducible on Ubuntu
Steps to reproduce:
1/ install "multitail" (in case it's not already installed)
$ sudo apt-get install multitail
2/ run "multitail" on non existing file names and observe the assert
failure
$ multitail non-existing-file-1 non-existing-file-2
--*- multitail 5.2.2 (C) 2003-2007 by folk...@vanheusden.com -*--
A problem occured at line 1010 in function do_commandline (from file
cmdline.c):
Error opening file non-existing-file-1.
errno variable (if applicable): 2 which means No such file or directory
Binary build at May 22 2008 11:05:50
multitail: utils.c:197: stop_process: Assertion `pid > 1' failed.
Aborted
Expected behavior: it should report an error rather than an assert
failure.
Oh, and while we're at it, notice also the typo in the error message:
"A problem occured at line 1010..." (*occured* is misspelled -> occurred)
** Affects: multitail (Ubuntu)
