Package: libquota-perl
Version: 1.6.4+dfsg-1
Severity: important
If /etc/mtab is not a normal file but a symlink to /proc/self/mounts,
Quota::getqcarg() fails to detect the correct root device. It takes the
first entry matching "/" which is "rootfs" instead of the device
containing the "real" root partition:
| $ ls -la /etc/mtab
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Sep 17 14:57 /etc/mtab -> /proc/self/mounts
| $ grep ' / ' /etc/mtab
| rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
| /dev/vda1 / xfs
rw,relatime,attr2,nobarrier,logbufs=8,logbsize=256k,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
| $ perl -e 'use Quota; print Quota::getqcarg("/") . "\n";'
| rootfs
| $
The man page explicitly recommends to use the value returned by
Quota::getqcarg() as the $dev argument for Quota::query() and/or
Quota::setqlim(). This, in turn, makes query() and setqlim() fail for
the root filesystem.

Okay, Gregor. Marking the found information as such.
As the fix contains only one line AFAICS, this chould be fixed in
stable too.
