Log 'ERROR: BUG BUG BUG! Function get_version could not detect parted version

[sirtow]

Hi, i'm just starting with rear .cloned from git and run usr/sbin/rear -vD mkrescue As result i got the following :

++ FEATURE_PARTED_OLDNAMING=
+++ get_version parted -v
+++ parted -v
+++ sed -rn 's/^[^0-9\.]*([0-9]+\.[-0-9a-z\.]+).*$/\1/p'
+++ head -1
++ parted_version=
++ [[ -n '' ]]
++ BugIfError 'Function get_version could not detect parted version.'
++ ((  1 != 0  ))
++ BugError 'Function get_version could not detect parted version.'
++ '[' Function get_version could not detect parted version. -eq Function get_version could not detect parted version. ']'
++ EXIT_CODE=1
++ Error 'BUG BUG BUG! ' 'Function get_version could not detect parted version.' '

I have parted :

rear # parted -v

seems that current regexp

parted -v | sed -rn 's/^[^0-9\.]*([0-9]+\.[-0-9a-z\.]+).*$/\1/p'

cannot extract my parted version. Greatly appreciate your advice.

Just tried it out:

$ cat /tmp/xx

$ cat /tmp/xx | sed -rn 's/^[^0-9\.]*([0-9]+\.[-0-9a-z\.]+).*$/\1/p'
1.9.0

Can you show the output it generates on your server?

[sirtow]

How did you generate your /tmp/xx? Anyway i run the following :

pluto rear # parted -v > /tmp/xx
pluto rear # cat /tmp/xx | sed -rn 's/^[^0-9\.]*([0-9]+\.[-0-9a-z\.]+).*$/\1/p'
pluto rear #

and my sed (just in case ) :

pluto rear # sed --version
GNU sed version 4.2.1

also noticed that my /tmp/xx (generated by parted -v > /tmp/xx) have some escape seq :

It seems related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304181 and http://www.incenp.org/notes/2012/python-term-smm-fix.html

Interesting links - thanks. Did you try it out already?

TERM=dumb parted -v > /tmp/xx
od -a /tmp/xx

[sirtow]

I'm still trying to figure out the root cause. Changing the terminal string did help. I was able to run rear but of course it broke my terminal (putty). So the problem remains :)

[gdha]

And, if you do like this?

# export TERM=vt100
# parted -v
GNU Parted 1.8.1
# TERM=dumb parted -v > /tmp/xx
# od -a /tmp/xx

# echo $TERM
vt100

[sirtow]

Here it is. Seems ok

pluto rear # echo $TERM

pluto rear # TERM=dumb  parted -v | od -a

@sirtow could you try the latest snapshot version? URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Archiving:/Backup:/Rear:/Snapshot/

[sirtow]

Just did git pull and it seems working. Big thanks for the support!!!!
