Package: biomaj-watcher Version: 1.2.0-8 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package modifies files from another package. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 2m3.0s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: /etc/biomaj/db_properties/ owned by: biomaj /etc/biomaj/db_properties/admin/ owned by: biomaj /etc/biomaj/db_properties/admin/alu.properties owned by: biomaj /etc/biomaj/db_properties/admin/sts.properties owned by: biomaj /etc/biomaj/db_properties/global.properties owned by: biomaj /var/lib/biomaj/ owned by: biomaj /var/lib/biomaj/migration/ owned by: biomaj /var/lib/biomaj/migration/update.pl owned by: biomaj /var/log/biomaj/ owned by: biomaj The modifications done here are (in the postinst): chown -R tomcat6 /etc/biomaj/db_properties chown -R tomcat6 /usr/share/java/webapps/biomaj-watcher chmod -R 775 /etc/biomaj/db_properties chown -R tomcat6 /var/log/biomaj chmod -R 775 /var/log/biomaj chown -R tomcat6 /var/lib/biomaj chmod -R 775 /var/lib/biomaj chown -R tomcat6 /etc/biomaj-watcher chown -R tomcat6 /etc/biomaj-watcher The permission changes (at least on the files) will be reverted whenever the biomaj package is reinstalled or upgraded - if you really need tomcat ownership and write permissions: use dpkg-statoverride. If you don't need them, don't set them. Setting the severity to serious because this has the potential to break biomaj-watcher after an biomaj upgrade. cheers, Andreas
