@Rosenberg: Yes, I have. And you were warned, this is the last response you will get from me.
@Mike: Many distros replace calibre-mount-helper with something suitable for the particular distros' disk handling strategy, and I encourage you to do the same in Gentoo if you dont already do it (incidentaly I'm a Gento user). You can actually do something as simple as replacing it with a bash script that always returns an error code and does nothing else. Add udisks as a calibre dependency and calibre will automatically use udisks via DBUS when available. This will, of course, break for those users for whom udisks doesn't work for whatever reason. Whether that is a large fraction of Gentoo users or not, only you can judge. This discussion really applies only to the calibre binary download, which does no dependency resolution and is intended to *work out of the box* on a huge variety of linux systems. Unfortunately, linux has historically had no universal way to handle removable disks without root access, neccessitating the use of a suid executable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885027 Title: SUID Mount Helper has 5 Major Vulnerabilities To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/885027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
