Package: cacti Version: 0.8.6h-4 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 7.2
Subject: cacti: config/postrm depends on non-essential packages (dbconfig-common, probably ucf) Package: cacti Severity: serious Justification: Policy 7.2 hi there, it was recently brought to my attention that the recommended method for using dbconfig-common in a package's config and postrm scripts was not policy compliant as hinted in the subject of this bugreport. the problem is that in both the config and the postrm you should test whether the files/programs in question exist before sourcing/executing them. this mass bug-filing was announced 2006/08/19, though it seems there's a problem with the list archives for debian-devel. fortunately, i cc'd the dbconfig list: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/dbconfig-common-devel/2006-August/000586.html and information for how you can fix your package: http://people.debian.org/~seanius/policy/dbconfig-common.html/ch-develguide.html#s-hooks fortunately, the fix is pretty simple, though i apologize for the inconvenience. feel free to ask if you have any questions. sean -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages cacti depends on: ii apache-ssl [httpd] 1.3.34-4 versatile, high-performance HTTP s ii apache2 2.0.55-4.2 next generation, scalable, extenda ii apache2-mpm-prefork [httpd] 2.0.55-4.2 traditional model for Apache2 ii dbconfig-common 1.8.21 common framework for packaging dat ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.4 Debian configuration management sy ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.1.6-1 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii libphp-adodb 4.72-0.1 The 'adodb' database abstraction l ii logrotate 3.7.1-3 Log rotation utility ii mysql-client-5.0 [virtual-mys 5.0.24a-3 mysql database client binaries ii php4 4:4.4.4-1 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php4-cli 4:4.4.4-1 command-line interpreter for the p ii php4-mysql 4:4.4.4-1 MySQL module for php4 ii php4-snmp 4:4.4.4-1 SNMP module for php4 ii php5 5.1.6-1 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php5-cli 5.1.6-1 command-line interpreter for the p ii rrdtool 1.2.11-0.6 Time-series data storage and displ ii snmp 5.2.3-1 NET SNMP (Simple Network Managemen ii ucf 2.0015 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages cacti recommends: ii iputils-ping 3:20020927-3 Tools to test the reachability of ii mysql-server 5.0.24a-3 mysql database server (current ver ii mysql-server-5.0 [mysql-ser 5.0.24a-3 mysql database server binaries -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
