Title: [SOLVED]TC4.1 AppBrowser returns non-existant extensions when using Provides
Post by: Rich on January 13, 2012, 12:43:57 PM

I suppose this could go under TCE bugs, but I'm used to it being part of TCB.
Performing a search for  tls  using the  Provides  function returns an extension called  lib.

An interesting observation, as there are other unexpected empty lines (indicating a new block) in 'provides.db':

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ grep -A1 "^$" provides.db | grep -vE "^(--|)$" | grep -v "\.tcz$"
squashfs-root
squashfs-root
squashfs-root
squashfs-root
squashfs-root
lib
A closer look shows that there are quite a few directories listed (e.g. 'etc' or 'lib') or sequences like:

Code: [Select]

Hi maro
I noticed a few weeks ago while searching on a different word it returned some other non-existent
extension, but neglected to make a note of it.

A few rogue extension list files. Corrected on server.
