Package: perl
Version: 5.10.0-19lenny2
Severity: important
I noticed that /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-*.postinst did not
correctly run lilo. Seems that the bug can be reproduced with script:
#! /usr/bin/perl
$_ = 'do_bootloader = yes';
#print "ctrl1\n";
print "test1\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig;
#print "ctrl2\n";
print "test2\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig;
#print "ctrl3\n";
print "test3\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig;
#print "ctrl4\n";
print "test4\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig;
#print "ctrl5\n";
print "test5\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig;
#print "ctrl6\n";
print "test6\n" if /do_bootloader\s*=\s*(yes|true|1)\s*/ig;
exit;
which should print 6 tests, but it prints 1,3,5 only.
Uncommenting the control lines, those are printed correctly,
but still only tests 1,3,5 are printed.
Am I going mad ??!!
Thanks, Paul
