Title: sce-remove occasinally hangs when selecting quit
Post by: nitram on January 24, 2016, 12:31:03 AM

Noticed this even before 'quit' was added to the select list, didn't get a chance to report.

Occasionally sce-remove hangs after selecting two or more SCEs for removal then selecting (q)uit, 100% processor usage. When it works quit allows continuation almost instantly, otherwise something hangs. Running dCore-jessie, noticed across multiple reboots. Does not appear dependent on a specific SCE. Actually also hangs when selecting only one SCE for removal, then re-running sce-remove to add another item later during session (>1 item in /tmp/.removesce). The items selected do get added to /tmp/.removesce just sce-remove won't exit, thanks.

Ok, will test it, thanks.

Only hangs when terminator is selected for removal, regardless of whether it's the only SCE chosen for removal, numerous removals or even when selected with lxterminal. May re-import tomorrow to re-test but suspect the most likely cause is that lxterminal.sce.dep file contains terminator. It is the only dependency on my system. So instead of getting a 'can't remove terminator as it will break lxterminal functionality', something hangs.

I noticed similar at one point as for the hang, I will try to reproduce and find the issue.

But instead of issuing a warning about terminator breaking lxterminal functionality, it smiply puts both on the removal list.

Re-importing terminator didn't help, neither did renaming lxterminal.sce.dep to get it out of the way. When all lxterminal related files were manually removed from /sce directory then sce-remove no longer hung when attempting to remove terminator. Copying all lxterminal files back to /sce, re-attempt to remove terminator and it hangs again. So definitely a dependency issue. Note, terminator gets added to /tmp/.removesce but it hangs. Still think it should not get added to .removesce without warning user it will break another extension. Thanks.

Edit: The lxterminal dependency was added properly through sce-import -d.

Ok, will look into it further.  I see the possible infinite loop that is occuring, should be simple to fix.
