Package: webfs
Version: 1.21+ds1-6
Severity: important
The stable version 1.21-5.1 of Webfs, as an effect of executing
the postinst script, manually contructed a file for drop-in as
/etc/logrotate/webfsd
The updated package, starting with 1.21+ds1-1, is using
dh_installlogrotate to register a pre-fabricated file as
/etc/logrotate/webfs
Observe that the file name differs, and that the new name is
identical to the package name, thus ought to have precedence.
The end effect of this is that the daily logrotate task will
complain about duplicate log entries, should the administrator
of the old package have specified
/var/log/webfs/webfs.log
as his intended logging file. The "stable" postinst used a dynamic
evaluation of "/etc/webfs.conf", or its template, to determine the
name of the file to rotate. Since the reformed packaging "1.21+ds1"
is using this latter path as pre-coded location for the logrotate
description, and since the old packaging clearly expected the same
name as the natural choice, it is only in this single case that the
clash becomes visible.
