Package: pepperflashplugin-nonfree Version: 1.5 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I got this bug report in Ubuntu: http://pad.lv/1311936 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - script /usr/sbin/update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree line 33 reads: [ `whoami` = "root" ] || die_hard "must be root" This is the wrong way to check for root permission. It should read something like: [ `id -u` = '0' ] || die_hard "must be root" For security reasons, my root user account is not named "root". Almost all programs check for user id 0 but every now and then someone manages to get it wrong. In this case, i cannot properly update package pepperflashplugin-nonfree except by hacking at the script. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I think it applies to Debian as well, so you may want to update the check. Thanks in advance, -- Dmitry Shachnev
