[PATCH 1/2] debugedit: strip extra newline characters from diagnostic messages

Dmitry V. Levin ldv@altlinux.org
Mon Apr 26 20:00:00 GMT 2021


Since the output produced by error() is already terminated by a newline
character, no newline terminating characters are needed in diagnostic
messages printed using error().

* tools/debugedit.c (main): Remove terminating newline characters from
format strings passed to error().
