Swearingen >Release: FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE i386 >Organization: none >Environment: n/a >Description: The uncompress(1) program, when given a filename without a .Z extension, prompts the user for confirmation and if given "y", it then ignores the reply and then complains about the missing .Z extension. This PR should be suspended immediately for the "lack of resources" reason, because it is an unimportant bug that only wastes a little users' time. >How-To-Repeat: n/a $ d yy* 1060967 -rw-r----- 1 jojo jojo - 11135 Sep 4 08:22:04 2005 yyy $ uncompress yyy overwrite yyy? y uncompress: yyy.Z: No such file or directory $ d yy* 1060967 -rw-r----- 1 jojo jojo - 11135 Sep 4 08:22:04 2005 yyy >Fix: Make the program abort with complaint if a filename doesn't have a .Z extension.
