[cl-debian] Bug#418115: common-lisp-controller: UID not exported?

Fri Apr 6 23:51:58 UTC 2007

Package: common-lisp-controller
Version: 6.9
Severity: important

In my normal shell environment, I tried to use ECL's ASDF to load a
package:

| twb at rocinante[Desktop]$ ecl -eval "(require 'clx)" -eval "(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :stumpwm)" -eval "(in-package :stumpwm)"
| ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/cmp.fas"
| ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp"
| ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/clx.fas"
| ; loading system definition from /home/twb/.clc/systems/stumpwm.asd into
| ; #<ASDF0 package>
| ;;; Loading "/home/twb/.clc/systems/stumpwm.asd"
| ; registering #<SYSTEM :STUMPWM 13833776> as STUMPWM
| ; $ umask 077 && echo $UID > /tmp/clc-9810
| ; $ rm /tmp/clc-9810
| An error occurred during initialization:
| Unable to find out user ID.

The above "echo $UID" command is part of the common-lisp-controller
source, so I'm filing this bug against it.

Exporting UID fixes the problem:

| twb at rocinante[Desktop]$ echo $UID
| 1000
| twb at rocinante[Desktop]$ export UID
| twb at rocinante[Desktop]$ ecl -eval "(require 'clx)" -eval "(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :stumpwm)" -eval "(in-package :stumpwm)"
| ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/cmp.fas"
| ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp"
| ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/clx.fas"
| ; loading system definition from /home/twb/.clc/systems/stumpwm.asd into
| ; #<ASDF0 package>
| ;;; Loading "/home/twb/.clc/systems/stumpwm.asd"
| ; registering #<SYSTEM :STUMPWM 13833776> as STUMPWM
| ; $ umask 077 && echo $UID > /tmp/clc-48910
| ; $ rm /tmp/clc-48910
| ; $ perl -W -e 'use File::stat; use User::pwent;
| [BORING STUFF ELIDED]
| STUMPWM>

For some lisp systems, CLC assumes that UID is set in the process
environment.  Is this a valid assumption?  If so, my sh environment is
broken somehow; please close this bug.

For reference, here is my complete environment within ECL:
