Package: exim4-base Version: 4.69-9+lenny4 Severity: normal [ /var/lib/dpkg/info/exim4-base.postinst ] | case "$1" in | configure) [...] | # Create directories for log etc | # install also fixes permissions. | install -d -oDebian-exim -gadm -m2750 /var/log/exim4
This overrides any permissions the admin set for /var/log/exim4 unconditionally and without a way through, say, dpkg-statoverride. I think it should check if the directory exists and it's writeable by Debian-exim, but that's about it. In my case I want that directoryto be 2755 or the group being list, but both would be overridden on the next update. Squeeze is likewise affected, didn't check unstable. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.8 APT prefers oldstable-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-proposed-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) 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 exim4-base depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii cron 3.0pl1-105 management of regular background p ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4-config [exim4-config 4.69-9+lenny4 configuration for the Exim MTA (v4 ii libc6 2.7-18lenny7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-11 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages exim4-base recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii perl-modules 5.10.0-19lenny3 Core Perl modules ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy Versions of packages exim4-base suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mail-re 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent pn exim4-doc-html | e <none> (no description available) pn eximon4 <none> (no description available) ii file 4.26-1 Determines file type using "magic" pn libmail-spf-query- <none> (no description available) ii mutt [mail-reader] 1.5.18-6 text-based mailreader supporting M ii openssl 0.9.8g-15+lenny11 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii swaks 0+20061116.0-2 SMTP command-line test tool -- debconf information: exim4/purge_spool: false exim4-base/drec: exim4/move_exim3_spool: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
