Subject: netenv segmentation fault

Package: netenv
Version: 0.94.3-15

I made a dist-upgrade yesterday and get now the following console output when
i run netenv:
/sbin/netenv: line 340: 7965 Segmentation fault $DIALOG --default-item
"$LAST_ITEM" --timetout $NETENV_TIMEOUT --menu "$CHOOSE_TITLE_TEXT" 20 $COLS
12 "${ITEM_LIST[@]}" 2>$TMPFIL You didn't choose a
network environment - good luck!

As netenv was not updated the problem is maybe concerned to another package.
Can anyone confirm this?

I am using Debian GNU/Linux unstable.

It's probably dialog, or the shell: netenv is just a bash script, and
if anything segfault's, it's for sure not netenv's fault.

No, I can't... Is the problem reproducible, i.e. do you get it every
time you try to run netenv?

Hello.

I've just installed netenv, and it failed to detect my network settings.
Then I tried to run it simply typing 'netenv' and it segfaults.

Here's the output:

/sbin/netenv: line 340: 9390 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $DIALOG
--default-item "$LAST_ITEM" --timeout $NETENV_TIMEOUT --menu
"$CHOOSE_TITLE_TEXT" 20 $COLS 12 "${ITEM_LIST[@]}" 2>$TMPFIL
                                     You didn't choose a network
environment - good luck !

This renders package unusable, so I raised severity of this bug.
Don't hesitate to ask me for more details.

regards
fEnIo

~$ head /sbin/netenv=20
#!/bin/bash

If netenv segfaults with the line=20

/sbin/netenv: line 340: 7965 Segmentation fault $DIALOG --default-item=
=20
"$LAST_ITEM" --timetout $NETENV_TIMEOUT --menu "$CHOOSE_TITLE_TEXT" 20 $COL=

=20=20=20=20=20

This must be a bug in bash, since a shell script doesn't do memory
management (and since $DIALOG has not yet been expanded to the
executable that would be called). Therefore I'm reassigning this to
bash. Matthias, please note the current severity "grave".

Hi Matthias, hi Emmanuel,

again a shell script that segfaults. Could 344082 and 343444 be the
same bugs? Emmanuel, which version of bash is installed on your system?=20

Line 344 is the opening brace `{' in=20

###########################################################################=

###########################################################################=

}

and again there is a variable that's supposed to contain a command and
is not yet expanded before the shell segfaults.

Recent dpkg keeps a log in </var/log/dpkg.log*>.

If you use aptitude, it's in /var/log/aptitude; I think dpkg does not
yet keep a log.

Since you reported the bug, the updates on *my* system[1] that could be the
reason are
