Description Moritz Muehlenhoff univentionstaff 2007-11-26 13:38:12 CET
Ruft man univention-config-registry mit der Option --keys-only ohne Angabe der Unterkommandos "search" oder "dump" auf, so erscheint folgender Traceback, der stattdessen besser die Usage-Informationen anzeigen sollte:

root@master:~# univention-config-registry --keys-only
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/univention-config-registry", line 40, in ?
    ub.main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/univention/config_registry.py", line 1081, in main
    action = args[ 0 ]
IndexError: list index out of range
root@master:~#
Comment 1 Moritz Muehlenhoff univentionstaff 2011-12-16 12:15:44 CET
Das Options-Parsing sollte auf das optparse-Modul aus Python umgestellt werden.
Comment 2 Moritz Muehlenhoff univentionstaff 2011-12-16 12:16:30 CET
Ein weiterer Bug:

root@master:~# ucr --shell
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/ucr", line 65, in <module>
    ub.main(convertToUtf8(sys.argv[1:]))
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/univention/config_registry.py", line 1620, in main
    action = args[ 0 ]
IndexError: list index out of range

Das würde auch Bug 22229 lösen.

optparse can't handle the subcommands of ucr, while <http://docs.python.org/2.7/library/argparse.html> is only available since Python 2.7 or as a separate Debian package.
If I remember correctly I tried to change UCR to OptionParser once, but had to revert the change because it subtly broke the API of UCR.

I'm closing this bug, as the original two tracebacks are WORKS-FOR-ME by now.
For the switch-over to OptionParser a separate bug tagged as API-change should be cloned (if this is still desired).
