Package: menu Version: 2.1.25 Severity: important Hello,
update-menus searches for menu entries on various directories. However, when run by a normal user (e.g. not root), all of the directories seen must either non-existent or readable (e.g. not "chmod a-r $dir"). When a directory exists *and* is not readable it segfaults. For example: 1) If I don't have the directory ~/.menu, it goes thru the rest of the process successfully. 2) If I have it empty, it also succeds. 3) If I have it with any number of entries, all fine. 4) If I have but with no read permission (---, --x, -w- or -wx), it segfaults: $ LC_ALL=C update-menus -v update-menus[15506]: Update-menus is run by user. update-menus[15506]: Dpkg is not locking dpkg status area, good. update-menus[15506]: Reading installed packages list... update-menus[15506]: Reading menu-entry files in /home/felipe/.menu/. Segmentation fault I've tried to remove read permissions on all the directories it looks, and it segfaulted in all of them. Note that this problem doesn't happen when it's runned by root. Well, that's it, please contact me if you can't reproduce the problem, Felipe. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers experimental APT policy: (901, 'experimental'), (900, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-ck6 Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to pt_BR.UTF-8) Versions of packages menu depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.11.0.1 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-1 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-10 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 menu recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
