Package: samhain
Version: 4.1.4-2
Severity: important
When samhain database is renamed or moved from /var/lib/samhain the script
/etc/init.d/samhain tries to execute 'samhain -t init' and then fails anyway as
database is re-created in different location.
Instead of using hard-coded path of /var/lib/samhain/samhain_file a check of
config file should be done - something like
'cat /etc/samhain/samhainrc | grep ^SetDatabasePath | sed s/SetDatabasePath=//'
to check if database path is redefined.

Changes:
samhain (4.1.4-7) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload.
.
[ Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña ]
* Add build conflict on autoconf-archive to prevent FTBFS (Closes: #1099415)
* debian/samhain.init: Instead of using hard-coded path of
/var/lib/samhain/samhain_file for the location of the database, check the
configuration file. This prevents samhain from failing in case the
administrator has changed its location (Closes: #868158)
.
[ Sven Geuer ]
* d/rules:
- Quick fix to make samhain 4.1.4 buildable using GCC-15 (Closes: #1097839)
- Quick fix preventing potential segfaults (Closes: #1111631)
Thanks to Aurelien Jarno <[email protected]> for debugging and
providing a patch.
* Update Portuguese debconf template translations (Closes: #1107458)
Thanks to Américo Monteiro <[email protected]> for providing it.
