Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

This is the first step towards resolving bug #1037213.
This bug was apparently introduced in version 7.8-1 by attempting to resolve 
bug #890414.
In this version, the postinst script does a removal of the /etc/logrotate.d/
httpd-prerotate/awstats directory, but before that apt installs in the same 
directory as a file called awstats, thus generating an awstats.dpkg-new file.
If a preinst script is used to remove the directory, apt does not rename the 
file to the dpkg-new extension.
Tested on upgrading from buster to bullseye and then bookworm, requiring no 
user intervention.

Step 1: fix this bug in unstable. (7.8-3 to 7.8-4)
Step 2: fix in bookworm. (7.8-3 to 7.8-3+deb12u1)
Step 2: fix in bullseye, and finally close this bug. (7.8-2+deb11u1 to 
7.8-2+deb11u2)


I am looking for a sponsor for my package "awstats":

 * Package name     : awstats
   Version          : 7.8-4

 * URL              : http://awstats.sourceforge.net/
 * License          : GPL-3+, Apache-2.0, CC-BY-3.0, GPL-1+
 * Vcs              : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/awstats
   Section          : web

The source builds the following binary packages:

  awstats - powerful and featureful web server log analyzer

URL:

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/awstats/
awstats_7.8-4.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

 awstats (7.8-4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * QA upload.
   * debian/awstats.postinst: part of the code was moved to the 
awstats.preinst
     file, to avoid creating the
     /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate/awstats.dpkg-new file, and thus requiring
     user interaction when updating. See #1037213.
   * debian/awstats.preinst: created.

Regards,

Lourisvaldo Figueredo Junior
