Dear Pior, It indeed seems like we overlooked the second instance of the help text (AttributeType.java). I’ve reopened the issue and will task the team to fix it. You can track the progress here: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/issues/121 Thanks for your thorough investigation! :-) Kind regards, Johan Åhlén Asst.

Dear Denis
The RIPE Database release 1.71 that was deployed to production this week was prepared in the beginning of December. Any issues reported afterwards that were not critical for the user were scheduled to be fixed in version 1.72, which we were working on at that time.
Right now, another 1.5 month after your mail and 3 months after my initial raport I have read about the new release of RIPE Database. As pointed above, the release 1.72 should contain any issues reported in the meantime that were not critical for the user and due to that fact were not included in the 1.71 release.
It seems that the mistake with person-name is still not corrected. That's why I was then so sceptical about this kind of statements. :(
I have to admit that this error is probably still not corrected due to the fact that the patch was only applied to the whois-client/src/main/java/net/ripe/db/whois/common/rpsl/AttributeSyntax.java file (https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/commit/09fbbab3676a39a905b7972822596f1f75f...) and has not been applied to the whois-client/src/main/java/net/ripe/db/whois/common/rpsl/AttributeType.java file. If this is the case, this means that there is a flaw in the testing procedure and no-one have checked if the patch (hope that only this one) is correct.
Moreover - the community was assured that the mistake with description of Error 108 will be fixed shortly. It seems that it hasn't been fixed yet.
Best regards, Piotr
