Hi Ralph, could you please download and execute the updated test script I have provided to verify that your version is running correctly?
I just tested again on an Ubuntu 11.04 that has bsdmainutils 8.2.2 (which fails, but is OK since not an LTS release): $ testHexdump.sh "ABCD" +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | HEXDUMP test script v 1.2 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | System: Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) | BSD main utils version: 8.2.2 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------> | Using test string "ABCD" | Cycles: 1 | Executions per cycle: 1000 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------> Executing test 'echo'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | hexdump'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | hexdump -x'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | hexdump -x -s 1'... :( 61 / 1000 executions failed Executing test 'echo ... | sed ... | iconv ... | hexdump -x -s 2'... :( 70 / 1000 executions failed Executing test 'echo ... | xxd -s 1'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | od -x -j 1'... :) stable ...on the other hand an 11.10 installation with bsdmainutils 8.2.3 seems to be fine: $ ./bin/testHexdump.sh "ABCD" +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | HEXDUMP test script v 1.2 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | System: Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) | BSD main utils version: 8.2.3 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------> | Using test string "ABCD" | Cycles: 1 | Executions per cycle: 1000 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------> Executing test 'echo'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | hexdump'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | hexdump -x'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | hexdump -x -s 1'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | sed ... | iconv ... | hexdump -x -s 2'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | xxd -s 1'... :) stable Executing test 'echo ... | od -x -j 1'... :) stable ** Attachment added: "Test script v1.2" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bsdmainutils/+bug/342433/+attachment/2700784/+files/testHexdump.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342433 Title: hexdump :: irregular illegal seek To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bsdmainutils/+bug/342433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
