Marco Amadori skrev: I can tell you that it's not rocket science to get /proc mounted in your target chroot while installing packages and then, y'know, unmount it when you're done. In fact we did an hack for having /proc mounted in debian-live, but the bug regards also installing apache in chroots without /proc mounted, and I cannot see why having /proc mounted should be a requirements, others package maintainers have patched issues like this to have their packages building in automated building tools like pbuilder or similar, I think this could be an easy to add feature. pbuilder mounts proc. Seriously, there is no reason not to mount /proc in any and all chroots. But I think this bug instead of closed should be put on whislist at least, since it is not resolved but just put in a I do not agree on that form.

Bug#392799: Having the need to have /proc mounted in postinst halts installations in chroots, hence in debian-live.
Marco Amadori skrev: But I think that it is not a clean way to proceed in a create live environment sense of a package, /proc filesystem means the current hardware and kernel system pack of informations and not a generic debian system informations nor an hardwareless or kernelless pack of information, so even if apache2 team wont fix this bug, asking to have /proc installed have only meanings of current system installs, not a generic one. So this bug is valid for all packages that requires /proc to finish the installation. Then you should build in a UML or Xen instance or something similar which is as close to a generic system as possible. Apache is just optimising for the common case, which is to install apache in a normal system where you don't want it to fall over because port 80 is in use already. If I dig maintainers scripts and provide a patch, could that be integrated asap or will just be a useless effort by me? I don't think you can, given that the way it currently works is by design.

Using su - instead of --chuid, might work. It's not pretty, though.
Ok. So I need to first learn why start-stop-daemon was used here in
the first place.
After investigating, it looks like start-stop-daemon was used over su
to avoid a syslog message from being written.
What's the harm in a syslog message?
As there is still #376165 and it is unlikely to have this fixed for
etch, I'd like to locall work around this issue. Is there any way to
programmatically find out whether libpam-tmpdir is in use to have the
cron job fall back to su in this case?
You probably rather want to check if TMP and TMPDIR are writable, and if
not reset them to /tmp or similar.

There's not much to do about it -- ideally, services should start a
new session (which would give them a new TMPDIR) and not just change
uids. (From the PoV of a PAM maintainer at least. :) However, this
can in practice be a bit icky, so I would just add something like
[ -w $TMPDIR ] || { TMPDIR=/tmp; export TMPDIR }
to the init script.
This should probably be considered good practice for daemons which
change their UID, I think.

Bug#295318: openbox: _NET_WORKAREA set to insane values on AMD64.
Package: openbox Severity: important Justification: breaks unrelated software (like nautilus) With the stock Openbox from Debian (recompiled on an ubuntu system, but that shouldn't matter), _NET_WORKAREA gets some insane values set: _NET_WORKAREA(CARDINAL) = 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 768, 0, 177, 2531391064, 2531391064, 768, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 This can be fixed by changed the val argument to prop_set_array to long and the type of dims to long *. This does of course generate loads of warnings, but seems to fix the problem. Somehow. -- Tollef Fog Heen,''`.

Bug#291466: mailman: Insisting on deleting qfiles is a bug
* Athanasius | mailman.preinst checks for any files under /var/lib/mailman/qfiles and | aborts installation if any are found. Debconf message then advises to | simply delete the qfiles if needs be. In many situations this is not a | valid option (loss of mail). Which is why it also suggests to let the queue run finish. | An alternative that should be documented is to first backup and remove | the qfiles, perform the upgrade, then restore the backed up qfiles | whilst mailman is NOT running, and then run /usr/lib/mailman/bin/update | to ensure the qfiles are in latest format. After that mailman may | safely be restarted. update doesn't always manage to handle the queue files, it seems, so it will break in some cases. (I don't think it handles queue files at all, just lists.) This is the reason for the preinst refusal to install. -- Tollef Fog Heen,''`.

It's actually not possible to fix it, but you can work around it either by rearranging the tests or by putting PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG above the second PKG_CHECK_MODULES instance.
