Package: backuppc Version: 2.1.0-10 Severity: normal When installing backuppc with apt (or anything that runs the .config scripts before actually doing the dpkg -i), then the randomly generated password that is shown to the user is not the one that is actually set.
I modified the postinst script to give me an idea what is going on: | | Web administration default user created | | BackupPC can be managed through its web interface: | http://galaxy.palfrader.org/backuppc/ | | | For that purpose, a web user named 'backuppc' with 'OG9ddpMi' as password has been created. You can | change this password by running 'htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc'. | | Selecting previously deselected package backuppc. | (Reading database ... 178757 files and directories currently installed.) | Unpacking backuppc (from .../backuppc_2.1.0-10_all.deb) ... | Setting up backuppc (2.1.0-10) ... | Setting password 'nkbgvywJ' with | htpasswd | Adding password for user backuppc | It is: | backuppc:1qw72bpmln3XE | Starting backuppc: ok. As you can see, the debconf dialog tells me athat 'OG9ddpMi' is the password, while the postinst script actually sets 'nkbgvywJ', which is the right one: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/backuppc/htpasswd | backuppc:1qw72bpmln3XE | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo nkbgvywJ | mkpasswd -S 1q -s | 1qw72bpmln3XE Maybe the solution is to only db_set a new tmppass in .config if none is set at the moment? -- Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
