Package: squirrelmail
Version: 1.4.6-1
Severity: important
In some cases (of upgrading) /var/lib/squirrelmail/data/default_pref
gets either moved to /etc/squirrelmail/ or deleted.
debian/squirrelmail.preinst is responsible for this.
In both cases Squirrelmail gives an error if a new user (who has no
peersonal preferences yet) logs in.
Squirrelmail tries to read $data_dir/default_pref and $data_dir is
defined as /var/lib/squirrelmail/data.
So i suggest to make a symlink from /etc/squirrelmail/default_pref to
/var/lib/squirrelmail/data/default_pref
The following patch for debian/squirrelmail.postinst should take care of
this:
