Package: samba
Version: 2.2.3a-14.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Tags: woody patch
The postinst script for samba contains this errorneous code:
if [ -d /var/samba/ ]; then
mv /var/samba/* /var/lib/samba/ 2>/dev/null || true
rmdir /var/samba/
fi
Without actually checking that the directory contains the stuff that
should be moved to /var/lib/samba. That directory is commonly used for
the shared data (akin to /var/www). This code breaks such system.
The code should really do:
mkdir -p /var/lib/samba
for F in ntdrivers.tdb ntforms.tdb ntprinters.tdb secrets.tdb share_info.tdb
wins.dat; do
if [ -f /var/samba/$F ]; then
mv /var/samba/$F /var/lib/samba
fi
fi
grep /var/samba /etc/samba/smb.conf || rmdir /var/samba || true
The problem was already there in the previous update and was not fixed.
