Subject: Errors in cd_autoup.sh

Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 03:55:06 +0200 (DST)

Package: cd_autoup.sh
Version: 0.5
Severity: critical

1) The README_upgrade file refers to itself as Release_Notes.

2) While the README_upgrade file recommends to cd to the directory
   containing itself before running cd_autoup, that script only works
   if run in the root dir of the debian tree, as documented inside the
   script.

3) The script says it cannot find netbase and netstd, even if it found
   them at the beginning.  I have no idea why.  Here are the error
   messages: 

Setting up dpkg-ftp (1.4.9.6) ...
Setting up dpkg-mountable (0.7) ...
No configuration file.
Rewriting configuration file

dpkg: error processing net/netbase_*.deb (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 net/netbase_*.deb
dpkg: error processing net/netstd_*.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 net/netstd_*.deb

4) installing netstd does not work, as it does not find
   /usr/sbin/bootparam.d.  I had to create a link to /bin/true in
   order to install it.  Here is a log:

casa# dpkg -i netstd_3.07-2.deb

Subject: Updated cd_autoup.sh has been installed in the archive

Date: Sat, 29 Aug 1998 21:08:12 -0400 (EDT)

     An update cd_autoup.sh and README-upgrade has been installed in
the archive under ../hamm/hamm/upgrade-i386/.

     This will appear in the 2.0.1 (or 2.0 r1) CD if and when it is
issued.

From the script:

> PKGS_NETBASE="net/netbase_*.deb"
> PKGS_NETSTD="net/netstd_*.deb"
...
> PKGS_NET=$( echo "$PKGS_NET" | sed -e "$SEDSCRIPT" )

It defines PKGS_NETBASE and PKGS_NETSTD then refers to PKGS_NET which
is not defined. Splitting the line of PKGS_NET into two (PKGS_NETBASE
and PKGS_NETSTD) will fix the problem.
