Public bug reported: To reproduce:
1. install Hardy 2. apt-get install etckeeper 3. etckeeper init # will create /etc/.git, since that's the default 4. upgrade to Lucid 5. apt-get install something Expected behaviour: * apt-get install runs the apt hooks and adds two commits to the /etc git repository Actual behaviour: * nothing happens Elaboration: * The default VCS setting in /etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf has changed from git to bzr. Since the conffile was not modified, dpkg replaced it with the new version on upgrade. Now etckeeper commit fails to find /etc/.bzr and complains, while etckeeper pre-install/post-install silently do nothing. If a sysadmin doesn't manually invoke 'etckeeper commit' (preferring manual 'git commit'), he may not notice those apt hooks stopped working until he tries to look at 'git log' about a year later. ** Affects: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to etckeeper in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/909558 Title: Default conffile change in hardy -> lucid transition silently stops etckeeper hooks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/909558/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
