Package: base-config Version: 2.53.5 Severity: normal I'm building a custom Debian distribution based on the Debian installer. I have preseeded a number of debconf settings amongst which base-config/late_command is set to install some additional packages. It is set to this value:
mount /cdrom; dpkg --set-selections < /cdrom/get-selections.txt; apt-get -y dselect-upgrade; eject /cdrom One of the packages installed is clamav-daemon. When its postinst script runs it tries to start the daemon (standard debhelper code), which fails like this: Starting ClamAV daemon: LibClamAV Error: cli_cvdload(): Can't create temporary directory /tmp/base-config.1141/clamav-c72.... [...] invoke-rc.d: initscript clamav-daemon action "start" failed. Although clamav fails to tell why it can't create that directory, I'm pretty sure it is because /tmp/base-config.1141 has mode 0755, not 1777 like /tmp normally has. ClamAV runs as its own user, so it can't access the TMPDIR, where it tries to create its temporary directory. In any case, changing the value of base-config/late_command to TMPDIR=/tmp; export TMPDIR; mount /cdrom; dpkg --set-selections < /cdrom/get-selections.txt; apt-get -y dselect-upgrade; eject /cdrom makes the problem go away. Please make sure that TMPDIR has the correct permissions at all times. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
