As I've written above, when choosing 'Yes' to debconf's question whether to copy the '.new' database and replace existing one, it's not being done - '/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new' is not being copied to '/var/lib/aide/aide.db' [0]. With a new installation there's obviously no 'existing one', but that's beside the point. The easiest way to test it is if you purge all the aide packages and reinstall 'aide' and 'aide-common'. [0] Before AIDE can be used, you will have to initialize a database. You can immediately do this here, or run the '/usr/sbin/aideinit' script from a shell later. Initialize AIDE database It is advisable for you to first look over /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new file before replacing the existing db. You can have the package replace the database anyway here. If you do not choose this option, you will need to copy the file /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new to /var/lib/aide/aide.db before AIDE can use it. Copy aide.db.new to aide.db?

With a new installation there's obviously no 'existing one', but that's beside the point. The easiest way to test it is if you purge all the aide packages and reinstall 'aide' and 'aide-common'. I have tested it: # aptitude purge aide aide-common # aptitude install aide aide-common Answered 'yes' to both debconf questions and waited until the aideinit process has been finished. # ls -l /var/lib/aide/ total 42640 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root39379 Jun 14 04:13 aide.conf.autogenerated -rw--- 1 root root 21897438 Jun 14 04:24 aide.db -rw--- 1 root root 21897438 Jun 14 04:24 aide.db.new So I'm not able to reproduce your issue that way. I'm only able to reproduce the error message from the cron job, if the cron job is executed right after the installation and before the aideinit process has been finished. That's why I have added this explanation to the error message and marked this bug pending. If this issue is still not solved, please provide more information about how to reproduce it.
