Package: apticron Version: 1.1.27 Severity: normal
Although /etc/apticron/apticron.conf allows setting of the SYSTEM variable to override the hostname used in apticron mails, it does not make use of this variable in the mail subject. Further more, it doesn't even use the FQDN of the server which can be frustrating when dealing with servers whose names have colliding name spaces. I propose either an additional variable for the subject hostname, or making use of the existing SYSTEM variable in the mail subject. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-vserver-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apticron depends on: ii apt 0.7.20.2 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bsd-mailx 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii debconf [debconf-2 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii ucf 3.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages apticron recommends: ii apt-listchanges 2.83 package change history notificatio ii iproute 20080725-2 networking and traffic control too apticron suggests no packages. -- debconf information: apticron/notification: root -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
