Package: autofs5
Version: 5.0.4-3
Severity: important
I'll need to see how UCF behaves on future upgrades when I have more
time, so this is currently just what I have observed with previous
upgrades:
I have edited the default /etc/auto.master to include the line
/net /etc/auto.net
however, it appears that upon upgrade of the package, this is
replaced by the default file again. It's saved as
/etc/auto.master.ucf-old, but autofs no longer works since the
actual configuration has been reverted to the package default.
% ls -l /etc/auto.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 657 Dec 6 23:57 /etc/auto.master
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 344 Jun 21 10:27 /etc/auto.master.ucf-old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 524 Jul 29 18:58 /etc/auto.misc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 885 Aug 2 19:35 /etc/auto.net
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1374 Jul 29 18:58 /etc/auto.net.ucf-dist
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 885 Jun 21 10:35 /etc/auto.net.ucf-old
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 660 Jul 29 18:58 /etc/auto.smb
>From the dates I guess this was from 5.0.4-2, but it appears
it was broken again with the 5.0.4-3 upgrade since it's
been broken since then (I've never touched the files since
I originally configured it, and I've never been asked about
them by dpkg or ucf AFAICR).
It's possible this isn't a bug, but I'm reporting it in case
ucf isn't being used correctly and is in fact replacing the
sysadmin's hand-crafted configuration with its own default,
which would be a serious bug.
Is there any real need to use UCF, rather than just let
dpkg handle everything?
Regards,
Roger
