Public bug reported:

Hi,

Really strange. The whois binary on precise shows the information it should for .org domains, but the binary exits with exit 1. If I use the trusty whois binary on the same server, it works just fine (exits with exit 0). Tried on several Precise systems, but they all show the same behavior. I've observed it doing this for these tlds:
.org
.bz

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release:	12.04

$ dpkg -l whois
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  whois          5.0.15ubuntu2  intelligent WHOIS client

Any idea what's going on? Thanks!

Guus
