--- Begin Message ---Package: boinc-manager Version: 7.16.15+dfsg.is.7.16.7+dfsg-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? Normal update to 7.16.15+dfsg is 7.16.10+dfsg+1. Afterwards, manager would not start with a error of gui_rpc_auth.cfg file is unreadable -- permissions problem * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I went into /etc/boinc-client & found that several of the files were owned by /root, not by boinc. Corrected them & still had a problem with boinc-manager. I removed all boinc files & downgraded to the prior version to get boinc to work again. * What was the outcome of this action? boinc-manager would not start--still had the same error message. * What outcome did you expect instead? I expected boinc-manager to work normally. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages boinc-manager depends on: ii boinc-client 7.16.15+dfsg.is.7.16.7+dfsg-2 ii libboinc7 7.16.15+dfsg.is.7.16.7+dfsg-2 ii libc6 2.31-3 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.0-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.64.4-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.22-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.9-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.33.0-1 ii libstdc++6 10.2.0-5 ii libwxbase3.0-0v5 3.0.5.1+dfsg-2 ii libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-0v5 3.0.5.1+dfsg-2 ii libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 3.0.5.1+dfsg-2 boinc-manager recommends no packages.
