Package: enigmail Version: 2:2.0~beta1-1 Severity: normal enigmail 2.0 downloads pepmda from the internet by default, even for users who have not opted into using pep. This includes the following files, which either duplicate code already in debian, or which we don't have source for in debian:

(there are other nagging technical details too, such as this profile not working in a multiarch scenario, but those are secondary to the software freedom and arbitrary code execution concerns above) This appears to remain the situation in subsequent betas of enigmail, so i'm going to raise the concern upstream. I do not think this enigmail should make it into debian unstable with this behavior. While i'm trying to figure out a satisfactory solution with upstream, i'll most likely try to patch this part out if i can figure out how to do so cleanly. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages enigmail depends on: ii gnupg 2.2.5-1 ii gnupg-agent 2.2.5-1 ii gnupg2 2.2.5-1 ii gpg-agent [gnupg-agent] 2.2.5-1 ii icedove 1:52.4.0-1 ii thunderbird 1:52.6.0-1+b1 Versions of packages enigmail recommends: ii pinentry-gnome3 [pinentry-x11] 1.1.0-1 ii pinentry-gtk2 [pinentry-x11] 1.1.0-1 ii pinentry-qt [pinentry-x11] 1.1.0-1 enigmail suggests no packages. -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Pkg-mozext-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-mozext-maintainers
