Dear Maintainer,
Since version 5.23.1, the 'run-parts --list' command produces an error
message on standard output when the directory passed as argument does
not exist / is not readable. This is different from the previous version
5.21, which produced error messages on the error output.
As an example, consider this script extract :
for x in $(run-parts --list /foo) ; do echo "PART: $x" ; done
Using 5.21 version on an environment where directory /foo is missing,
the script produces an error on stderr and nothing on stdout, as expected :
$ for x in $(run-parts --list /foo) ; do echo "PART: $x" ; done
run-parts: failed to open directory /foo: No such file or directory
However, using 5.23.1 version on the same environment, the output is :
$ for x in $(run-parts --list /foo) ; do echo "PARTS: $x" ; done
PART: run-parts:
PART: Skipping
PART: "/foo";
PART: failed
PART: to
PART: opendir:
PART: No
PART: such
PART: file
PART: or
PART: directory
and nothing is printed on stderr.
With the new version 5.23.1, I expected an error message on stderr and
nothing on stdout, as in the previous version.
