OK. I've found the source of the problem. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Again, Line 415 is: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
broken_libs="$(scanelf -qBN ${OLD_SONAME} <<(grep -e '^obj' ${content} | cut -d' ' -f2))" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
At first glance, I wasn't sure exactly what this line was doing. |
| 17 |
Reading someone else's code has to be done very thoroughly and carefully. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
At first glance, I thought it was a nested command substitution |
| 20 |
but it is actually a type of input redirection from a string (a string |
| 21 |
that is formed by a command substitution). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
However, the construction is INCORRECT. The line should be this: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
broken_libs="$(scanelf -qBN ${OLD_SONAME} <<< $(grep -e '^obj' ${content} | cut -d' ' -f2))" |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Notice the "<<< $" |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
With this correction, python-updater now works as intended |
| 30 |
with no errors or funny messages. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Keep in mind that python-updater has had this INCORRECT CODE |
| 33 |
for the last several releases (0.7, 0.6, 0.5). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I will file a report with bugs.gentoo.org |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
(Now I'll try to root out the difficulty with eselect.) |
