Hi Javier,

DSA informed me that testing samhain for piuparts.debian.org causes mails to 
root@$slave which are very irritating to them, as they do use samhain as well.

Copies of these mails can be found at 
http://www.palfrader.org/volatile/2014-05-28-wVnu9SVZFqw/piuparts currently.

As starting samhain is prevented via invoke-rc.d, I believe the culprit must 
be within samhain's initscript, in these lines:

     if [ ! -f /var/state/samhain/samhain_file ] ; then
         [ -f /var/log/samhain/samhain-init.log ] && rm -f 
/var/log/samhain/samhain-init.log
         echo "Creating samhain's file integrity database (this can take some 
minutes)...."
         samhain -t init >/var/log/samhain/samhain-init.log 2>&1
     fi

What surprises me though, is that no other package (out of 40k packages) 
doesnt produce mails to root - could you think of anything else producing 
these mails?


cheers,
        Holger
