Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.
I'm closing this bug report as 'Invalid' as no version information was given for either Vim or Ubuntu and as over twelve years have passed without comment it is unlikely that an Ubuntu developer will even look at a bug report which probably needs to be fixed upstream by a Vim developer. ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793703 Title: Format string bug in shtags.pl Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: vim-runtime vim/vim73/tools/shtags.pl have format string bug . test case : emanuel@emanuel-desktop:~$ echo 1 > '/tmp/a%n' emanuel@emanuel-desktop:~$ /usr/share/vim/vim73/tools/shtags.pl '/tmp/a%n' Modification of a read-only value attempted at /usr/share/vim/vim73/tools/shtags.pl line 142, <> line 1. the bug can be found at : printf "Using $shell for $ARGV\n"; fix : use %s for $shell and $ARGV printf "Using %s for %s\n" , $shell , $ARGV ; To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/793703/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
