[Pkg-pciutils-discuss] Bug#411314: pciutils: update-pciids not working as expected

[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Package: pciutils
Version: 1:2.2.4-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

update-pciids seems to not be working as expected.
>From update-pciids manpage:

======
FILES
	/usr/share/misc/pci.ids
               Here we install the new list.
======

But it's not installing the new /usr/share/misc/pci.ids:

# ls -l /usr/share/misc/pci*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 431483 2006-12-27 20:29 /usr/share/misc/pci.ids
# update-pciids
(download happens)
# ls -l /usr/share/misc/pci*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 431483 2006-12-27 20:29 /usr/share/misc/pci.ids
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 449172 2007-02-18 02:30 /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz

It should rename pci.ids as pci.ids.old (or something like that) and
then install pci.ids.gz as pci.ids (note that pci.ids.gz actually isn't
a gzip file).

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson
