Package: adjtimex
Version: 1.26-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3
Hi
The upgrade of adjtimex overwrites the TICK and FREQ values in the config
file /etc/default/adjtimex without a question or warning.
After seeing the 2 debconf values below I checked the package configuration
with dpkg-reconfigure. There is a question about running an automatic
configuration with adjtimexconfig at installation time ('Should adjtimexconfig
be run at installation time?'). From that description I would expect the
automatic configuration to run once when I install the package the first time,
but not a (re-)configuration on every upgrade of the package, especially not
if you have changed the values manually.
I have disabled this setting now and hopefully the automatic reconfiguration
does not happen again. But still this behaviour should be fixed in the package.
Regards
Uwe

Description:
adjtimex - Utility to display or set the kernel time variables
Closes: 514987
Changes:
adjtimex (1.26-2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* debian/templates: Clarify wording: ask about running "when installed
or upgraded" not just "at installation time" (thanks to Uwe Storbeck
<[email protected]> and Michael Meskes <[email protected]>,
Closes:Bug#514987)
.
* debian/postinst: don't prepend path to command running adjtimexconfig
to silence lintian complaint. (The package management system already
puts /usr/sbin in path, because that's where install-info is.)
