Package: fprintd Version: 1.90.9-1build1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: john.loughran.col...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer, Sorry if I do something wrong here, I've never submitted a bug to debian before. I am acutally running kubuntu but I'm pretty sure the bug is deeper down the stack. It may even be deeper than debian! pam-auth-updates, when asked to enable fingerprint auth, sets an argument max_tries=1 to the fprintd module. This is the wrong name for the option (perhaps a misunderstanding from old release notes, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd/-/merge_requests/164), the correct form would be max-tries=1 I couldn't find any matching strings in pam-auth-updates, but I was able to find https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fprintd/-/blob/0b7353bcd7ebd8d307dad44e73276e67271f67ec/debian/pam-configs/fprintd which seems to have the same mistake. Maybe that is where the bug truly is? That was added in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fprintd/-/commit/d90232eaf6ce050ed494d9fb9cd8464ba595468f which appears to be from a debian patch to fprintd adding max_tries (note the underscore) as an option. Then in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fprintd/-/commit/b8b886550e3f4e3392d50ca03fb5a94244ebcbc6 when the upstream implementation was adopted - which used max-tries as the option name - the change wasn't reflected in pam_configs/fprintd. As I mentioned on the upstream MR I made, this might seem relatively innocuous, but it does mean a lot of systems out there might be using the default (3 for now) instead of the 1 expected. I suppose I should submit a patch, but I don't really understand the process here yet. Can I just make an MR on salsa.debian.org? -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers impish-updates APT policy: (500, 'impish-updates'), (500, 'impish-security'), (500, 'impish') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.13.0-20-generic (SMP w/16 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fprintd depends on: ii dbus 1.12.20-2ubuntu2 ii libc6 2.34-0ubuntu3 ii libfprint-2-2 1:1.90.7+git20210222+tod1-0ubuntu3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.68.4-1ubuntu1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-31 ii policykit-1 0.105-31 fprintd recommends no packages. fprintd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
