Description Georgi D. Sotirov 2010-08-28 13:22:12 EEST

After the latest modifications, utility program regpkg requires absolute path to the package file. Otherwise a strange error is raised:

# regpkg ./ilmbase-1.0.2-i486-1gds.txz
regpkg: Error: The file './ilmbase-1.0.2-i486-1gds.txz' is NOT a bzip2, lzma, gzip or xz archive!

Comment 1 Georgi D. Sotirov 2010-08-28 13:25:22 EEST

The problem is due to modifications in revision 1.5, where the working directory of the utility is changed. Now idea how to fix this for now, but it needs to be fixed soon. Non blocking for SlackPack 0.4.0 release, but should be stated as known issue.

Comment 2 Georgi D. Sotirov 2011-03-20 12:24:20 EET

Rescheduling for SlackPack 0.5

Comment 3 Georgi D. Sotirov 2015-08-12 10:55:15 EEST

This has to be worked out for SlackPack 0.5 at latest.

Comment 4 Georgi D. Sotirov 2021-05-09 09:56:45 EEST

Fixed with changing @INC, so that modules could be properly loaded without changing script's working directory:

+use FindBin qw($RealBin);
+use lib ("$RealBin/..");

This concludes the problem reported in this bug.
