--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-builder Version: 1.7 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: causes non-serious data loss The script uses %INSTALLED hash table to track the packages which was installed on the system when script was started. Problem is, it fills this table only when buildPackage() function called. When no argument given, this function is not called, and %INSTALLED table is not filled, but tidySystem() function always called on script termination, and it does not check if %INSTALLED were initialized or not. It then executes a command to remove packages what exist in curent system, but not in %INSTALLED table, which is all packages in the system in this case. This can be easily fixed, but in general, removing packages without user confirmation is a very bad idea - debian-helper intended to be run with root privileges, and therefore even a little bug can be the cause of system rendered unusable. patch: --- debian-builder.orig 2007-12-19 11:52:39.000000000 +0500 +++ debian-builder 2007-12-19 12:03:29.000000000 +0500 @@ -637,6 +637,9 @@ sub tidySystem { + if( not scalar(%INSTALLED) ) { + return; + } my %NEW = getInstalledPackages(); my @removals; foreach my $package ( sort keys %NEW ) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23ct (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debian-builder depends on: ii build-essential 11.3 informational list of build-essent ii devscripts 2.10.9 Scripts to make the life of a Debi ii dpkg-dev 1.14.7 package building tools for Debian ii perl 5.8.8-11 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.8.8-11 Core Perl modules debian-builder recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed--- debian-builder.orig 2007-12-19 11:52:39.000000000 +0500 +++ debian-builder 2007-12-19 12:03:29.000000000 +0500 @@ -637,6 +637,9 @@ sub tidySystem { + if( not scalar(%INSTALLED) ) { + return; + } my %NEW = getInstalledPackages(); my @removals; foreach my $package ( sort keys %NEW )
