| Description | The patches provided with P4DTI 1.5.0 for Bugzilla 2.16 and 2.16.1 are broken. Using the Bugzilla bug form with these patches results in a "Software error" message in the Bugzilla user interface, complaining about global symbols "$rid" and "$sid": Software error: Global symbol "$rid" requires explicit package name at bug_form.pl line 120. Global symbol "$rid" requires explicit package name at bug_form.pl line 121. Global symbol "$sid" requires explicit package name at bug_form.pl line 122. Global symbol "$sid" requires explicit package name at bug_form.pl line 123. Compilation failed in require at /var/www/html/nb/bugzilla-2.16.1/post_bug.cgi line 31. |
| Analysis | This is a result of an incorrect fix to job000615. The same change was applied to all the bug_form.pl files, but the 2.16.* bug_form needs to be different because of the templatisation changes in 2.16.*. |

| 35732 | closed | 2002-11-19 17:13:20 | Nick Barnes | Bugzilla 2.16.x is templatised, so this code is different, so applying the same fix for job000618 was wrong. |
