Bug#470876: Problem in Lost Password email

2008-03-14 Thread Franklin PIAT
Package: python-moinmoin
Version: 1.5.3-1.2etch1
Severity: normal

A user has reported a problem with the Lost Password procedure in
DebianWiki. http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2008/03/msg00136.html 

When a user wants to recover his lost password, (s)he goes to
http://wiki.debian.org/UserPreferences and asks for it's password by
email.

The email send looks like :
 Somebody has requested to submit your account data to this email
 address.
 
 If you lost your password, please use the data below and just enter
 the
 password AS SHOWN into the wiki's password form field (use copy and
 paste
 for that).
 
 After successfully logging in, it is of course a good idea to set a
 new and known password.
 
 Login Name: FranklinPiat
 
 Login Password: {SHA}000=
 
 Login URL: http://wiki.debian.org/UserPreferences

The URL should actually read (depending on i18n) :
http://wiki.debian.org/UserPreferences?action=login

The problem could be reproduced on French and English versions.

Debian/Testing system isn't affected (moinmoin 1.5.8).
I've tried to locate the problem on my system (1.5.8) . It seems to lie
in /usr/share/python-support/python-moinmoin/MoinMoin/user.py :
python-moinmoin 1.5.3-1.2etch1
 text = '\n' + _(\
 Login Name: %s
 
 Login Password: %s
 
 Login URL: %s/%s
 , formatted=False) % (
 self.name, self.enc_password, 
 self._request.getBaseURL(), getSysPage(self._request, 
 'UserPreferences').page_name)

python-moinmoin 1.5.8
 text = '\n' + _(\
 Login Name: %s
 
 Login Password: %s
 
 Login URL: %s/%s?action=login  
 , formatted=False) % (
 self.name, self.enc_password,
 self._request.getBaseURL(), getSysPage(self._request,
 'UserPreferences').page_name)

I guess the i18n pages should be updated too.

Thanks for reporting, and for hunting down th cause of the problem.

Unfortunately, since this bug relates to usability and not security, and 
Debian stable generally have a policy of only getting security fixes, 
this bug wont get fixed.
