Bug Description

Binary package hint: bugzilla3

Ubuntu 8.10 Server

bugzilla3: 3.0.4.1-2ubuntu1

I ran "apt-get install bugzilla3". If the user enters a password with a single-quote character in it during the bugzilla administrator password prompt, a parse error will occur reading the "answers" file and the install will fail.

Thank you for reporting this issue and trying to improve Ubuntu. Could you please attach the output of that error message please? Basically you can do a cut and paste into a text file and attach it here. I have marked this issue as "incomplete" until I have enough information to mark it as "triaged".

Thanks,

Richard Seguin

Attached the log, and the error was replicated using this test value as the bugzilla admin password:

Sorry, the editor decided to encode that text in rtf format. Here is the file in plain text.

Thank you for re-posting that as a .txt. The file is pretty self explanatory when it comes to the error. I actually have enough to mark this as triaged at this point, but it would be nice if you could re-test after running updates (this bug was reported over a month ago). If your still having this issue I will mark it as triaged.

Sorry, I no longer have access to the server that was running this setup, so would only verify with a clean install similar to what you're probably using as a test.
