[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1012341: med-config: 90med-config file missing a necessary trailing semi-colon

[Jason L. Quinn]

Package: med-config
Version: 3.7
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: jason.lee.quinn+debian at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

The file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90med-config has a syntax error. It is missing a
trailing semi-colon for the DPkg scope. This can cause parsing errors, eg with
the cupt package manager. You can confirm the bug by installing the cupt
package and running "cupt why" on the command line.

When a scope is used in an apt config file, the trailing semi-colon after the
closing delimiter brace is necessary (as per "man 5 apt.conf").

The fix, I believe, is to merely change

DPkg {
        Post-Invoke {"test -f /var/run/med-config.usermenu && if [ -x
/usr/sbin/blend-update-usermenus ] ; then /usr/sbin/blend-update-usermenus med
; fi ; rm -f /var/run/med-config.usermenu";};
}

to

DPkg {
        Post-Invoke {"test -f /var/run/med-config.usermenu && if [ -x
/usr/sbin/blend-update-usermenus ] ; then /usr/sbin/blend-update-usermenus med
; fi ; rm -f /var/run/med-config.usermenu";};
};

in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90med-config file.

I'm running bullseye so I have med-config version 3.7.0 but I just checked and
the issue is still present in sid for 3.7.1.

Hope that helps.
