tags 316241 - unreproducible retitle 316241 maintainer scripts mishandle /var/cache/bind permissions thanks
Downstream bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1086775 The problem is that the postinst only sets permissions on /var/cache/bind on a fresh install. When the bind9 package is removed but not purged, /var/cache/bind is removed, but /etc/bind is left alone (as expected). When the bind9 package is reinstalled from this state, the postinst fails to correct the default 755 permissions on /var/cache/bind. This is particularly a problem for users upgrading to wheezy, since this situation causes 100% CPU usage due to bug 695264. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start with a squeeze system 2. apt-get install bind9 3. apt-get remove bind9 4. apt-get install bind9 Note broken permissions in /var/cache/bind. This isn't directly reproducible in wheezy or sid because files are now left behind in /var/cache/bind causing /var/cache/bind to not be removed when the package is removed (is this a separate bug?) However, if from squeeze you then do: 5. sed -i s/squeeze/wheezy/g /etc/apt/sources.list 6. apt-get dist-upgrade Then the problem propogates to wheezy, and you'll see bug 695264. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
