Description jk_office_org 2011-02-13 08:37:45 UTC 
I recently installed Avera Anti Virus.

One error that is returned by Avera is for a long path/name where it is 
generically gnu/123 with a recurring /123. Looking at the log file, it seems to 
be present in a cab file in the installaion files placed on my desktop as well 
as in python-core-2.6.1\lib\test\testtar.tar fle in the the actual 
installaiton. 

The latter suggests that there may be some test tar file that was not cleaned 
up in a libruary path of python core.

Although the version I detectect it in is OOO320m18, it might also have been 
present in previous versions of the installation too.

The defect is seemingly not affecting OOO Functionality but does seem to 
highlight a missing clean up of test code that causes the anti virus program to 
warn.

Please open and check the mentioned 'testtar.tar' file delivered by OOO 
installaiton before considering to close this defect again.
 
Great that you responded so quick & identified a related defect so quickly, I 
looked search before submitting using 'avira', 'long name' 'longname' 'gnu/123' 
and did not find any related bugs!! 

However, the related defect was seemingly closed as "won't fix" with an 
indication that it is an Avira issue!!

This is not correct, I have since looked at the directory and file that Avira 
was complaing about and it does indeed have recurring sub 
directory /123/123/123 etc etc. 

Please be so kind to have a look for yourself. C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3
\Basis\program\python-core-2.6.1\lib\test, open testtar.tar, navigate to 
the /gnu sub directory and you will find a sub sub directory /123, open sub sub 
directory /123 and you will find sub sub sub directory /123. I stopped at about 
20 sublevels of /123. it is there and I do not think should not be.

This is not an Avira issue, but an OOO issue where a test file contains a 
unknown number of spooled /123 sub directories. The test fiel should be removed 
or fixed.
