# ucr info ucsschool/ldap/default/groupname/exam
ucsschool/ldap/default/groupname/exam: OU%(ou)s-Klassenarbeit
 Default group name for the exam mode (in Python string syntax, default: "OU\x25(ou)s-Klassenarbeit")
 Categories: ucsschool-base

patch:
sed 's/\\x25/%/g' -i ucs-school-umc-exam/debian/ucs-school-umc-exam-master.univention-config-registry-variables

The attached patch was not enough, the UCR implementation (ConfigParser) disallows to have %(foo)s in a variable description. I had to workaround with '%' + '(foo)s'.

As the variable descriptions are under /etc/ it will only be updated for new installations.

Fix: (svn r59705), svn r59821
Package: ucs-school-umc-exam-master

root@master44:~# ucr info ucsschool/ldap/default/groupname/exam
ucsschool/ldap/default/groupname/exam: OU%(ou)s-Klassenarbeit
 'Default group name for the exam mode (in Python string syntax, default: "OU%'+'(ou)s-Klassenarbeit")'
 Categories: ucsschool-base

Looks like a problem with escaping

Please revert existing changes in SVN and then remove the target milestone.

Comment 4 Florian Best

Last try:
I am now using '\x20\x08' (space + backspace) for the variable. This has the effect that parsing works, the empty space char is not displayed on the CLI, copy+paste on CLI works.

Fix: svn r60234
