Subject: bash operand errors

Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 08:44:37 -0800

Package: bash
Version: 3.1-4
Severity: important


I have been using these "any2vob" conversion scripts for quite some time to make
 DVDs. After updating Sid, the bash scripts do not run anymore.

http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/any2vob/any2vob-0.28.sh

The error is:

/usr/local/bin/any2vob-0.28.sh: line 257: "1": syntax error: operand expected
(error token is ""1"")

It appears that bash is not able to correctly handle the array functions for
some reason.  I have tried other shells such as dash, but these also fail with
different errors (ie; let: not found).  I believe this is a bash only script.
Did something major change?

Best Regards,

Reverting back to bash 3.0 fixes the problem.  It seems bash 3.1 has broken the
way the arrays are read.

Once again bitten by using a too-general function for consistency
across different expansions :-).

I will be releasing a patch for this.

Changes: 
 bash (3.1-5) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Work around the broken remove-shell, not checking for the existance
     of /etc/shells (closes: #337097).
   * Force rebuild of bashref.info (closes: #354303, #357258).
   * Apply upstream patches 015, 016, 017, fixing
     - a problem with the extended globbing code prevented dots from matching
       filenames when used in some extended matching patterns.
     - core dumps when attempting to perform globbing in directories with
       very large numbers of files.
     - Array expansion failure with an arithmetic syntax error when the
       subscript appears within double quotes. Closes: #358831.
   * Add copyrights for contributed files (Joost van Baal). Closes: #357607.
   * bash_completion:
     - Add apt-cache madison completion: Closes: #342073, #359021.
     - Complete files with spaces for bzip2. Closes: #356218.
     - Complete whatis and apropos like man. Closes: #352145.
     - Ignore stderr in apt-cache completion. Closes: #367198.
     - Add flv|FLV files completion for mplayer. Closes: #364509, #373904.
     - Add dvi|DVI files completion for evince. Ubuntu #49880.
   * Fix typos in man page. Closes: #360543.
 .
   [ Ian Jackson ]
   * Make bash die if it cannot read its input file.  Closes: #320036.
     (This is not an ideal fix because, for example, the exit status is
     still wrong - it should be 127, not 2.  Also, the filename is not
     printed.  Unfortunately the code is badly tangled making this small
     fix the most appropriate approach.)
