Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.5.1-1ubuntu9
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
trying to use passwd.new as an intermediary file for
cppw /etc/passwd.new
result is that passwd.new is removed and passwd is 0 bytes long.
The reason for this is that cppw does not use a tmpfile to create
the intermediary file but uses passwd.new (and similarly group.new and
shadow.new)
This effectively destroys the source file passwd.new I had created as source
file to be copied.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
renaming my source for the passwd replacement fixed it but it took a while and
searching through the source code of cppw to understand what was happening.
* What was the outcome of this action?
that solves my problem for now
* What outcome did you expect instead?
cppw should never accidentally destroy an existing file, it should use a real
tmpfile
as a side note the man page of cppw (and cpgr) are outdated.
The options are not all mentioned and cpgr will overwrite passwd
if you use it in the form
cpgr /etc/group.file
best regards
Ben Polman
