Package: iptraf-ng
Version: 1:1.1.4-6
Severity: important
Hi!
I'm afraid that with the iptraf→iptraf-ng transition, you forgot to copy in
the maintainer scripts. This causes, among others, leaving junk on
upgrades/purges, and prevents non-interactive functionality (-B) from
working as required directories are not present.
Also, there's a discrepancy as to the directories in question:
* all the documentation says /var/log/iptraf/
* so does /etc/logrotate.d/iptraf-ng (so logs don't get rotated)
* yet the binary tries to:
359 open("/var/log/iptraf-ng/iface_stats_general.log",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Even worse, it doesn't complain that creating the logs failed; the
daemonized process even sticks around doing nothing of use.
It appears that there's only one reference to /var/log/iptraf-ng:
src/dirs.h:#define LOGDIR "/var/log/iptraf-ng"
while there are 18 to /var/log/iptraf/, thus I believe it'd be better
to use the old location, especially that the new one never worked and
we'd avoid a migration.
ᛗᛖᛟᚹ!
