Problem with /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system

[Adrien Cunin]

On edgy (dist-upgraded from hoary).
Every day I receive a mail saying:

run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system exited with return code 1

If I try to run "sudo /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system" it says absolutely nothing, no error.

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

/etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system does exit with an error code:

# /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system
# echo $?
1

Running the script with sh -x gives the following output:

# /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system

Bug #67512 is a duplicate of this one.
Changing status to confirmed.

[Adrien Cunin (adri2000)]

As the reporter of the duplicate said, removing the line "set -e" at the beginning of the file fixes the bug and doesn't seem to break anything.
To be sure I downloaded the last upstream release and made a diff, result :
-#set -e
But I'm afraid that it is too late to make a new upload, maybe we will get the fix in a post-release update.

[Sebastian Breier (tomcat42)]

Confirmed, and the fix works.

This is the latest Upstream version, for those interested: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/beagle/tools/beagle-crawl-system.in?rev=1.15&view=markup

[Brandon Hale (brandon)]

Fixed upstream, 0.2.13 is in feisty.

[Félix Velasco (felix-velasco)]

It's back in feisty, in 0.12.16.
Upstream is ok, but a debian patch adds the "set -e" (beagle-0.2.16.3/debian/patches/beagle-crawl-safely.dpatch in http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/beagle/beagle_0.2.16.3-3.diff.gz)

[Félix Velasco (felix-velasco)]

Back again on 0.2.16 in feisty

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

This bug is fixed in latest gutsy in this beagle version:
Version: 0.2.18-0ubuntu2

[Matthias Andree (matthias-andree)]

Bug persists in gutsy's beagle 0.2.18-0ubuntu3.

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

I tested again with beagle 0.2.18-0ubuntu3 and there is no problem on my system:

# /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system
# echo $?
0

So Matthias could you provide more info on what is different in your system compared to mine?
