Description Pavel Roskin 2008-05-21 01:58:11 UTC
Description of problem:
uudeview fails to decode any files

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
uudeview-0.5.20-15

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. uudeview foo.enc
  
Actual results:
$ uudeview foo.enc 
Loaded from foo.enc: '' (foo): foo part 1   Text
                                                                      
Found 'foo' State 16 Text Parts OK

  -rw-r--r-- foo             is OK   [d] (?=help) y
ERROR: Write error on target file uudeview.tmp.VuzNiI: File exists
ERROR: while decoding foo (foo): File I/O Error
0 files decoded from 1 input file, 1 failed                           

Expected results:
$ /home/proski/src/uudeview-0.5.20/unix/uudeview foo.enc 
Loaded from foo.enc: '' (foo): foo part 1   Text
                                                                      
Found 'foo' State 16 Text Parts OK

  -rw-r--r-- foo             is OK   [d] (?=help) y
    File successfully written to /home/proski/tmp/uude/foo            
1 file decoded from 1 input file, 0 failed                            

Additional info:
The standard uudeview-0.5.20 compiled from the sources doesn't have this
problem.  It's a Fedora specific problem, likely due to an incorrect security patch.

I'm giving it the highest severity because it's the primary function of uudeview
to decode files, and it fails at it every time, and there is no workaround I
could devise by trying all options.
