Comment 1 for bug 1023329

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer this question:

* What specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

I've read both reports (this and the one you made in upstream) and still don't know what specific steps I need to do to recreate it, could you provide the so called 'GRIB 1 datafile'?

I've seen that you used:

  $ cdo sellonlatbox,23,31,-25,-31 t2m_ei_1979.grb tagliato_t2m_ei_1979.grb

To test cdo, could you provide both the wrong and right output?, or any other hint to detect that the program has run successfully?

The latest version in Ubuntu of the cdo program is 1.5.6.1+dfsg.1-2ubuntu2, and in other ubuntu releases:

       cdo | 1.5.3.dfsg.1-2 precise
       cdo | 1.5.4+dfsg.1-4build1 quantal
       cdo | 1.5.6.1+dfsg.1-2ubuntu2 raring

So there is a good change that in the latest Ubuntu release it works as expected, if that's the case (we'll know when we can verify the error) we'll need to cherry pick the solution to add it to the Ubuntu precise version (SRU [0])

Again, thanks for your time invested in Ubuntu, have a nice day.
