--- Begin Message ---Package: tmpreaper Version: 1.6.13+nmu1+deb9u1+b1 Severity: normal Tags: d-i patch Dear Maintainer, current version od /etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper shell-expands TMPREAPER_PROTECT_EXTRA content before passing it to /usr/sbin/tmpreaper using "--protect" option. This may cause some patterns to be ignored by tmpreaper when using *relative* paths, if they happen to match any file in the current working directory (/root if run by cron). A quick fix would be ton add a "set -o noglob" a the proper place in the script (as in suggested patch). A better way would be to use a shell array to declare TMPREAPER_PROTECT_EXTRA items, but this beaks compatibility.
