[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#369709: endless "uninitialized value in" warnings

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.46
Severity: minor

I thought this was supposed to be fixed in the new version (sorry,
cannot check right now since bugs.d.o is down):

22723:tbm at deprecation: ~/debian/build] /usr/share/sbuild/checkchroot unstable
...
e2fsprogs
ed
findutils
                   foo
Use of uninitialized value in string comparison (cmp) at /usr/share/sbuild/checkchroot line 89.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/sbuild/checkchroot line 96.

Use of uninitialized value in string comparison (cmp) at /usr/share/sbuild/checkchroot line 89.


I get this after creating a chroot with debootstrap (no
--variant=buildd given, sbuild not setup in the chroot), and with the
following ref-unstable file:

22724:tbm at deprecation: ~/debian/build] cat ref-unstable
foo
22725:tbm at deprecation: ~/debian/build]
