From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: I use a Perl script known as "Bibelot" to convert standard text files to PDB format (script can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bibelot/). Prior to Red Hat Linux 8.0 (7.2), I could simply execute "pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyS0 -i /tmp/newfile.pdb" to install the file. Instead, I receive the following error message: Listening to port: /dev/ttyS0 Please press the HotSync button now... Connected Unable to open '/tmp/newfile.pdb'! Time elapsed: 0:00:18 I have no problems installing PRC files, however. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download "bibelot" from SourceForge 2. Create a PDB file from a normal text file 3. Attempt to install it using pilot-xfer Actual Results: Unable to open '/tmp/newfile.pdb'! Expected Results: It should have installed the file without a problem. Additional info: Palm IIIxe that has worked without a hitch under Red Hat Linux 7.2.
Any update/report on this? My sleuthing is not coming up with much.
Could you try 0.11.5-2 in rawhide please.
Created attachment 84446 [details] This is the perl script I use to generate the PDB file (bibelot)...
Here's the step by step of my latest attempt: $ rpm -q pilot-link pilot-link-0.11.5-2 $ makepdb.pl quips > quips.pdb $ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyS0 -i quips.pdb Listening to port: /dev/ttyS0 Please press the HotSync button now... Connected Unable to open 'quips.pdb'! Time elapsed: 0:00:04 I will be adding an strace output attachment of the pilot-xfer process.
Created attachment 84447 [details] strace of the pilot-xfer process...
Could you please try to reproduce this problem with the devel version of pilot-link (pilot-link-0.11.8-16).
