Package: javascript-common Version: 7 Severity: important -----------------------------------------------------------
Greetings. Unfortunately the way the install/remove scripts are currently written, both installation and removal fails and also causes loss of control of the shell when an SSL key with a password is used with the HTTP server, because they both cause a RESTART on the HTTP server rather than a RELOAD. The password prompt for the SSL key is not shown, and hitting CTRL-C does not break out of the problem, so the end result is whiptail using 100% CPU time, loosing control of the shell, and an install/remove script that never terminates. The line in both the postinst and postrm scrip that is the problem is: . /usr/share/wwwconfig-common/restart.sh [BTW this is likewise in the javascript-common pacakge in Unstable.] Presumably the SSL passowrd prompt is sent to wwwconfig-common, rather than to the terminal where it must go. This leaves the user clueless. :-/ To allow installation or removal, I had to modify /usr/share/wwwconfig-common/restart.sh to cause a reload rather than a restart. I need to refer to the Debian Maintainer's guide, but I get the feeling the severity of this should probably be "serious". -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us ----------------------------------------------------------- -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages javascript-common depends on: ii wwwconfig-common 0.2.1 Debian web auto configuration javascript-common recommends no packages.
