Package: base-passwd Version: 3.5.36 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Routine upgrade. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? apt-get dist-ugrade caused the change by upgrading base-passwd. * What was the outcome of this action? Updating base-passwd changes the entries in the password files, without explicit administrator permission and not respecting changes previously placed there by the administrator. Setting up base-passwd (3.5.36) ... Changing shell of news from /bin/sh to /usr/sbin/nologin 1 changes have been made, rewriting files Writing passwd-file to /etc/passwd Writing shadow-file to /etc/shadow Writing group-file to /etc/group * What outcome did you expect instead? Since the shell entry for news is set deliberately by me, I expect base-passwd to ASK whether it may change it. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages base-passwd depends on: ii libc6 2.19-10 ii libdebconfclient0 0.191 Versions of packages base-passwd recommends: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.53 base-passwd suggests no packages. -- debconf information: base-passwd/system/user/www-data/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/list/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/group-move: true base-passwd/group-change-gid: true base-passwd/user-change-uid: true base-passwd/system/user/bin/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/lp/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/irc/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/nobody/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-change-shell: true base-passwd/system/user/mail/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/games/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/news/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-change-home: true base-passwd/system/user/uucp/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/group-remove: true base-passwd/group-add: true base-passwd/system/user/sys/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/man/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-remove: true base-passwd/user-change-gecos: true base-passwd/user-change-gid: true base-passwd/system/user/backup/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/gnats/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-move: true base-passwd/system/user/daemon/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-add: true base-passwd/system/user/proxy/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
