[Bug 1406846] [NEW] fcheck cannot handle directories with '!' in name

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In Ubuntu 14.04 the package "espeak-data" has the directory,

        /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/espeak-data/voices/!v/

But the package "fcheck" in the same release cannot check
directories with a '!' (explanation point) in their name 
because it uses '!' as a separator to 'join' and then 'split' data.

In "12.04" the package "espeak-data" the directory was,

        /usr/share/espeak-data/voices/!v/

which apparently avoided the problem (since fcheck hasn't change).

I worked around the problem by adding in "/etc/fcheck/fcheck.local.cfg"
the line.

    Exclusion      = /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/espeak-data/voices/!v/

Not sure of the correct fix, but hopefully this will at least
save others the time tracking down this odd bug.
