Package: fprintd
Version: 1.90.9-1build1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
Sorry if I do something wrong here, I've never submitted a bug to debian
before. I am acutally running kubuntu but I'm pretty sure the bug is
deeper down the stack. It may even be deeper than debian!
pam-auth-updates, when asked to enable fingerprint auth, sets an
argument max_tries=1 to the fprintd module. This is the wrong name for
the option (perhaps a misunderstanding from old release notes, see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd/-/merge_requests/164),
the correct form would be max-tries=1
I couldn't find any matching strings in pam-auth-updates, but I was able
to find
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fprintd/-/blob/0b7353bcd7ebd8d307dad44e73276e67271f67ec/debian/pam-configs/fprintd
which seems to have the same mistake. Maybe that is where the bug truly
is?
That was added in
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fprintd/-/commit/d90232eaf6ce050ed494d9fb9cd8464ba595468f
which appears to be from a debian patch to fprintd adding max_tries
(note the underscore) as an option. Then in
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fprintd/-/commit/b8b886550e3f4e3392d50ca03fb5a94244ebcbc6
when the upstream implementation was adopted - which used max-tries as
the option name - the change wasn't reflected in pam_configs/fprintd.
As I mentioned on the upstream MR I made, this might seem relatively
innocuous, but it does mean a lot of systems out there might be using
the default (3 for now) instead of the 1 expected.
I suppose I should submit a patch, but I don't really understand the
process here yet. Can I just make an MR on salsa.debian.org?
