[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#363351: checkchroot gives "uninitialized value" warning

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.44
Severity: important

/usr/share/sbuild/checkchroot unstable gives me the following:

Use of uninitialized value in string comparison (cmp) at /usr/share/sbuild/checkchroot line 80.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/sbuild/checkchroot line 87.

The problem is that this is repeated very often (probably infinitely) and it
has just filled my log file, causing my disk space to run out...
