Package: debian-edu-install Version: 2.12.11 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: Roland Clobus <[email protected]>
Hi, I'm not a user of Debian Edu myself, but I see it was being tested in OpenQA and it involves little effort to add proper suport for it to my own "cruft-ng" QA effort. These are two lists of volatile files considered normal to be present on Debian Edu systems: https://sources.debian.org/src/cruft-ng/0.9.75/rules/debian-edu-config /etc/chromium/policies/managed/debian-edu-homepage-ldap.json /etc/firefox-esr/debian-edu-homepage-ldap.js /etc/debian-edu/config /etc/default/enable-nat /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/lxqt-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/mate-applications.menu /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/02debian-edu.conf /var/lib/dovecot /var/lib/dovecot/auth_success https://sources.debian.org/src/cruft-ng/0.9.75/rules/debian-edu-install /etc/debian-edu/config /etc/debian-edu/xdebian-edu-firstboot /var/log/installer/cfengine-edu-install.log After applying these two heuristics lits in cruft-ng. There remains these unexplained files hereunder. The .cf-before-edit & .cfsaved might belong to debian-edu-* or cfengine3, I don't know. The /.gitconfig file should _not_ be there. Any tool needing some git interaction should have used /tmp/something as a $HOME, and not let little crumbs behind. Now the three-letters "git" word is not the most pleasant thing to grep for, found this.debian-edu-install/tools/edu-etcvcs: if [ -x /target/usr/bin/etckeeper ] && [ -d /target/etc/.git ]; then Greetings Alexandre https://openqa.debian.net/tests/450264/logfile?filename=cruft-cruft.txt cruft report: Tue 07 Oct 2025 02:09:09 PM EDT ---- missing: dpkg ---- ---- unexplained: / ---- /.gitconfig -----------------------------> ???? /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00CDMountPoint /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom /etc/apt/sources.list~ /etc/debian-edu/config.cf-before-edit /etc/default/grub.cf-before-edit /etc/xdg/menus/kf5-applications.menu.cfsaved /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu.cfsaved /var/lib/apt/cdroms.list~ /var/log/lastlog end.
