Package: aide
Version: 0.10.99.20051215-1
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental

Hello,

After switching to 0.10.99.20051215-1, I noticed a lot of warnings
("open_dir():Not a directory: ...") in the aide cronjob output.

Maybe the new version has a new database format (but I could not find any
reference in the changelogs or in NEWS.gz).

Maybe this bug is related to #163231.


dpkg -i aide_0.10-11_i386.deb
aide -u > update.1
mv /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new /var/lib/aide/aide.db

dpkg -i aide_0.10-11_i386.deb
aide -u > update.2
aide -C > check.2
aide --compare > compare.2
mv /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new /var/lib/aide/aide.db

update.2, check.2 and compare.2 contains only the changes related to the
aide re-install. They are quite similar.

dpkg -i aide_0.10.99.20051215-1_i386.deb
aide -u > update.3
aide -C > check.3
aide --compare > compare.3

update.3 is quite big (2.7M)
It contains a lot of "open_dir():Not a directory: " warnings
Aide only noticed that a few files changed:
/usr/bin/aide and /usr/bin/aide.real and some /var/log/aide files
(however not /usr/sbin/aideinit, which is in the "open_dir():Not a
directory: " warnings)
The /var/log/aide files were not in update.2

compare.3 contains:
WARNING: Old db contains a file that shouldn't be there, run --init or --update
and a lot of:
File xxx in databases has different attributes, xxx, xxx
For example:
File /var/log in databases has different attributes, 2589,67111453

Also, the new database is much smaller:
ls -l /var/lib/aide/aide.db*
-rw------- 1 root root 1910155 Jan 11 11:17 /var/lib/aide/aide.db
-rw------- 1 root root  172571 Jan 11 11:41 /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new

I can provide my config, the results of the above commands and the
databases if needed.

If there is really a new database format, it would be nice to recommend
updating the database in NEWS.Debian.
