Displaying 1 result from an estimated 1 matches for "msg_descript".

package names with `.' cause problems in the Depends field
...uot;) || ($3 eq ">="))
|| ($4 =~ /[^\d\.\-]/)))) {
$any++;
break;
}
}
if($any == 0) {
$log->result("OK")
}
else {
$log->error();
$log->print("Malformed Depends field.\n");
$log->print(wrap("", "", @msg_DESCRIPTION));
exit(1);
}
Alas, I am not Perl savvy enough to fully understand this. Simple testing shows
that the matching yields no matches ($1 is empty) for a name like "g.data". If
`.' is allowed in package names, then I suspect that this is a bug.
