Package: systemd Version: 232-25+deb9u8 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
The systemd postinstall script calls 'systemd-tmpfiles --create' with absolute paths, e.g. /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/home.conf . As absolute paths are used, the system administrator can not overrule those settings using config files in /etc/tmpfiles.d . We noticed this behaviour, as systemd-tmpfiles tries to change permissions of /home, which fails in our case as it is an NFS mount. So in our case our permission policy is not effectivly violated, however, other users might not be in this situation. Using only basename filenames instead, e.g. 'systemd-tmpfiles --create home.conf [...]', would allow both the debian postinstall script to specify configuration files to be evaluated by systemd-tmpfiles, as well as the administrator to override settings of those configuration files. See also 'man systemd-tmpfiles'. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.6 APT prefers stable-debug APT policy: (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.124.wap (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii libacl1 2.2.52-3+b1 ii libapparmor1 2.11.0-3+deb9u2 ii libaudit1 1:2.6.7-2 ii libblkid1 2.29.2-1+deb9u1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u4~mi ii libcap2 1:2.25-1 ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.7.3-4 ii libgcrypt20 1.7.6-2+deb9u3 ii libgpg-error0 1.26-2 ii libidn11 1.33-1 ii libip4tc0 1.6.0+snapshot20161117-6 ii libkmod2 23-2 ii liblz4-1 0.0~r131-2+b1 ii liblzma5 5.2.2-1.2+b1 ii libmount1 2.29.2-1+deb9u1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.6 ii libseccomp2 2.3.1-2.1+deb9u1 ii libselinux1 2.6-3+b3 ii libsystemd0 232-25+deb9u8 ii mount 2.29.2-1+deb9u1 ii procps 2:3.3.12-3+deb9u1 ii util-linux 2.29.2-1+deb9u1 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus 1.10.26-0+deb9u1 ii libpam-systemd 232-25+deb9u8 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii policykit-1 0.105-18+deb9u1 pn systemd-container <none> pn systemd-ui <none> Versions of packages systemd is related to: pn dracut <none> ii initramfs-tools 0.130 ii udev 232-25+deb9u8 -- Configuration Files: /etc/systemd/journald.conf changed [not included] /etc/systemd/logind.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information
