In my new debian/wheezy installation, after installing citadel-server, it runs as user "root", while 7.x in debian/squeeze runs as "citadel" (one of the processes also as root).
Now, I checked the postinst script in 8.05: chown -R citadel:citadel /var/lib/citadel is the culprit. Either citadel is supposed to run as "citadel" not as root. Then the line is ok, but I don't see why the citadel-server process does not drop privileges to "citadel". Or citadel is supposed to run as root, then the postinst script is not ok and will break the installation on the next upgrade/configure call. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995227 Title: citadel fails to start after upgrade to 8.05-3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/citadel/+bug/995227/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
