[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#393895: cut: the delimiter must be a single character

[Loïc Minier]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.4-2
Severity: important

        Hi,

 (This is perhaps a serious/RC bug.)

 With todays update and version 2:1.0.4-2, "update-initramfs -u" barked:
    cut: the delimiter must be a single character
    Try `cut --help' for more information.

 This comes from /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot:
 +++ echo '8,1 '
 +++ cut $'-d\315\204,' -f2
 cut: the delimiter must be a single character
 Try `cut --help' for more information.
 ++ min=
 +++ dmsetup info -c --noheadings -j8 -m

 This is the relevant code:
        maj=$(echo "$deps" | cut -d',' -f1)
        min=$(echo "$deps" | cut -d̈́',' -f2)

 the second "cut -d" is not written with a real "d", instead it's an
 UTF-8 sequence which looks very alike to a d.  (If you're using vim,
 type "ga" to see the hex sequence of the first and the second "d".

   Bye,
