Package: smartmontools
Version: 5.37-5
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
starting with some versions ago /var/lib/dpkg/info/smartmontools.postinst
starts smatrmontools on package installations or upgrades. This fails in
cases where the package is upgraded within a chroot environment. Please do
not start the daemon when a chroot environment is detected. Udev, for
example, uses the following code to detect a chroot environemnt in its
postinst:
chrooted() {
if [ "$(stat -c %d/%i /)" = "$(stat -Lc %d/%i /proc/1/root 2>/dev/null)" ];
then
# the devicenumber/inode pair of / is the same as that of /sbin/init's
# root, so we're *not* in a chroot and hence return false.
return 1
fi
echo "A chroot environment has been detected, udev not started."
return 0
}
regards,
Jörg
