https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1033018 Bug ID: 1033018 Summary: syntax error in /etc/profile.d/perl-homedir.csh (perl-local-lib/perl-homedir) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: perl-local-lib Severity: low Priority: high Assignee: iarnell@xxxxxxxxx Reporter: ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: iarnell@xxxxxxxxx, jkachuck@xxxxxxxxxx, mmaslano@xxxxxxxxxx, perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx, wgomerin@xxxxxxxxxx External Bug ID: CPAN 85667 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1032195 +++ Syntax error in /etc/profile.d/perl-homedir.csh ---Steps to Reproduce--- * Install perl-homedir * Create a user with csh as login shell * login with that user The file /etc/profile.d/perl-homedir.csh, contained in perl-homedir, contains a syntax error. The command "eval `perl -Mlocal::lib`" fails with "Bad : modifier in $ (/).". The processing of any login scripts stops at that error, resulting in an incomplete environment for the user. Fyi ... .... looks like this is caused by missing {}: ls3814:db2lin 8> perl -Mlocal::lib setenv PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT "$PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT:/db2/db2lin/perl5"; setenv PERL_MB_OPT "--install_base /db2/db2lin/perl5"; setenv PERL_MM_OPT "INSTALL_BASE=/db2/db2lin/perl5"; setenv PERL5LIB "/db2/db2lin/perl5/lib/perl5:$PERL5LIB"; setenv PATH "/db2/db2lin/perl5/bin:$PATH"; ls3814:db2lin 9> setenv PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT "$PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT:/db2/db2lin/perl5"; Bad : modifier in $ (/). ls3814:db2lin 10> setenv PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT "${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT}:/db2/db2lin/perl5" ; # no error [...] --- Additional comment from Petr Pisar on 2013-11-20 14:22:15 GMT --- Thank your for this bug report and a suggestion how to fix. Unfortunately, this is not enough. If PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT is not set, then tcsh will bail out with undefined variable and the variable will not get set: [test@rhel-7-0 ~]$ echo ${?PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT} 0 [test@rhel-7-0 ~]$ setenv PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT "${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT}:/home/test/perl5" ; PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT: Undefined variable. [test@rhel-7-0 ~]$ echo $? 1 [test@rhel-7-0 ~]$ echo ${?PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT} 0 This is a know issue to the upstream <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=85667> with no ratified solution yet. --- Additional comment from Petr Pisar on 2013-11-21 10:50:37 GMT --- Due to CSH limits on subcommand substitution and parsing if-then-else statemens, appending to a variable FOO can be achieved this way: test 1 == ${?FOO} && setenv FOO "a:${FOO}" || setenv FOO "a"; ---- All Fedoras are affected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
