[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#559911: acpi-support fails to start if dbus environment contains variables with non-ascii values

[Євгеній]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.130-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I'm trying to do this on my machine:

  # LANG=C /etc/init.d/acpi-support start
  Starting acpi_fakekey daemon....
  Checking battery state...local: 9: (standard: bad variable name
  -su: Binary: not found

With sh -x:

  + /etc/acpi/power.sh
  local: 9: (standard: bad variable name
  -su: Binary: not found

Then:

  LANG=C sh -x /etc/acpi/power.sh
  ...
  + grep -z DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=
  + cat /proc/2764/environ
  + local DBUS_SESS=Binary file (standard input) matches
  local: 1: (standard: bad variable name

I think this is because of this variable:

  DEBEMAIL=Євгеній Мещеряков <eugen at debian.org>

Adding -a to grep fixes the problem (see attached patch).
