Description Harald Koenig 2005-08-29 11:48:41 UTC

running an update from 9.3 to 10.0 beta-3 via NFS, after switching from CD1 to
CD2 there was the following error message on VC1

   /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/common/stage.sh: line 45: .[: syntax error: operand
expected (error token is ".[")

btw: the ".[" is no typo, I've captured this with "setterm -dump 1"

please send the log: 
 
  /var/log/YaST2/y2start.log 
 
thanks

Comment 2 Harald Koenig 2005-09-01 16:34:08 UTC

Created attachment 48488 [details]
y2start.log

sorry for the delay. first I replied via email and only today I realized that
this doesn't work at all, 
the "From: bugzilla_noreply@novell.com" is just a black hole...

Comment 3 Marcus Schaefer 2005-09-05 09:46:28 UTC

Hmm the log looks good to me. the scripts will create a stage list 
from the directory: 
 
  /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/Second-Stage/ 
 
can you send me the contents of the directory ? 
ls -la or something similar (all files)

Comment 5 Marcus Schaefer 2005-09-05 16:04:27 UTC

Thanks, looks like it should look like  
Harald I cannot reproduce this here on my system and the log you sent  
me looks as well good to me. All stages are called correctly and it  
seems the update process was successfull  
  
The error you reported is the code from the createStageList() function  
which creates an array of stages according to the contents  
of /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/Second-Stage/. If the array is invalid not all 
stages are called and the installation will fail but that doesn't happen 
in your case. The error message provided above appears if the index of 
a bash array is set to an invalid character: For example: 
 
    INDEX=? 
 
    if [ -z ${STAGE_LIST[$INDEX]} ];then 
      echo foo 
    fi  
 
But the directory contents doesn't provide illegal characters or malformed 
files. I'm sorry but it works for me as it should

maybe my update from beta-3 to -4 cleaned up some stuff and/or fixed the problem ?

at least I didn't see the same error anymore, but maybe I have just overseen it
?!  in beta-3 it only was visible on the console VC1, not in any log file...

it it keeps that way I'm perfectly happy ;-)
