Package: dbconfig-common Version: 2.0.4 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256
Running dpkg-reconfigure on a package that is using dbconfig-common will loose the password when the admin opts out of the reinstallation of the database. The issue is at line 128 in dpkg/config. Without really thorough thinking I think the behavior is also wrong for the case where the admin opts in for reinstallation of the database. I think that if the admin doesn't fill in a new password, the old one should probably be used. The whole reconfigure behavior should probably be reevaluated. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (60, 'unstable'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJXSDuEAAoJEJxcmesFvXUKc/UIAKhc/1GhYBNnT5dbaHNsZLJv 0OZimKr8yiFKrmxNzSjmgXQRq9eYwa2GV6xmKU9cwcNuCSvlUR6U/381+aRDGUu6 SQj3wjVKaa+bgtiztPQyjV9TX5gRAnJZBiOAMlZNQ34dBZxG1WwF2A5k3Wfl5eS8 5gCa3Q7cudrZwj+AKWCW6wibkWs/uyaMPiawJi4cxpByJXn0v6n+g1XvovZQfh5u Csrc83ozq8HnD+rf/A9NLk8AUTHFVd25RFFaGQlejw/8enEsz2psL2C2Q51CC7ej /7YQHwQZ1rB7EcO9HEWODBR98wksxVgJygUXwR6zyGLeSzi1MZ7gfPB63pN0DEQ= =E2Lw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
