--- Begin Message ---Package: john Version: 1.7-2 Severity: serious john.postinst moves some conffiles from /etc/ to /etc/john; I think this should be in preinst instead (if the md5sum matches the value in dpkg status, remove, causing dpkg to add the new file, and the old one doesn't exist as cruft; otherwise move, which causes a dpkg prompt, as intended). It also removes/replaces the conffile /etc/cron.daily/john: if [ "$RET" = "true" ]; then if [ -f /etc/cron.daily/john ] && [ ! -L /etc/cron.daily/john ]; then rm /etc/cron.daily/john fi fi [...] And /etc/cron.d/john: cronfile=/etc/cron.d/john tmp=`tempfile` if [ "$INSTCRON" = "true" ] && [ -f $cronfile ]; then cat $cronfile | sed -e 's/^#00/00/' >$tmp mv $tmp $cronfile else [...] if [ -f $cronfile ] ; then cat $cronfile | sed -e 's/^00/#00/' >$tmp mv $tmp $cronfile else rm $tmp fi fi And modifies the conffile /etc/john/john.conf: CONFFILE='/etc/john/john.conf' [...] TEMPFILE=`tempfile -d /etc/ -m 644` # Warn: Wordlist contains / so we use ',' instead, if the # user uses ',' the script will break (he shouldnt do that) sed -e "s,^Wordfile = .*,Wordfile = $WORDLIST," $CONFFILE >$TEMPFILE mv $TEMPFILE $CONFFILE john.preinst moves all the old conffiles out of the way, which seems to violate "preserves local configurations". john.prerm modifies the cronjob conffile; the accepted way to do this (eg. in initscripts) is to test for the existence of the daemon executable at the top of the script, and exist if it doesn't exist (which is supposed to mean "the package has been removed but not purged): cronfile=/etc/cron.d/john tmp=`tempfile` # If the user enabled the cronjob through debconf remove it, otherwise # keep it as it is since it is a local change. if [ "$INSTCRON" = "true" ]; then cat $cronfile | sed -e 's/^00/#00/' >$tmp mv $tmp $cronfile

Pastore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Changed-By: Kevin B. McCarty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Description: john - active password cracking tool Closes: 375850 403855 412797 Changes: john (1.6-40.1) unstable; urgency=high . * Non-maintainer upload. * High-urgency for RC bugfix. * The following bug fixes are mostly cherry-picked from an omnibus patch by Justin Pryzby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: * Complete rewrite of maintainer scripts to neither remove nor edit conffiles (Closes: #375850) - the debconf settings are not necessary for package operation, so just don't use debconf, and remove debconf-related files from debian directory (incidentally closes: #412797) - preserves settings in preinst, rather than moving conffiles to foo.old - do the conffile relocation in preinst (not postinst, which inhibits dpkg diffs when they should be displayed) - the cronjob in /etc/cron.d does nothing if the executable isn't +x, so doesn't need to be commented out on uninstallation - minor edits to debian/README to reflect these changes * Set /var/run/john to mode 0700 in postinst configure unless a dpkg-statoverride exists (Closes: #403855) * On uninstallation, remove restore file from /var/lib, not /usr/share; and do so in postrm remove, not prerm remove. On upgrade, if restore file exists in /usr/share but not in /var/lib, move it in postinst.
