Package: geneweb Version: 4.10-6 Severity: grave
The prerm of geneweb finds files that it thinks are geneweb databases located everywhere on the system and starts altering them (updating, moving, etc). All this unasked for. A maintainer script has no business messing around with peoples data! I can see the point in updating the databases in the dir owned by geneweb (/var/lib/geneweb), but messing around random files on the filesystem is not something a maintainer script should do. I was stupid enough to have a drive mounted r/w with backups on them, which now are also nicely updated... grts Tim -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=nl_NL, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to nl_NL.UTF-8) Versions of packages geneweb depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii iso-codes 0.44-1 ISO language, territory, currency ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii perl-base [perl5-base] 5.8.4-8.1 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis -- debconf information: * geneweb/run_mode: Manual geneweb/remainingdir: geneweb/oldrcfile: * geneweb/remove_databases: false * geneweb/port: 2317 geneweb/remove_etcdirs: false * geneweb/lang: Dutch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
