Package: citadel Version: 7.33-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Hello, the citadel-server package creates /etc/services during postinst. In a clean unstable buildd chroot I get the following: # apt-get install citadel-server [...] # cat /etc/services citadel 504/tcp A subsequent "apt-get install netbase" leads to the following message: [...] Setting up netbase (4.32) ... Configuration file `/etc/services' ==> File on system created by you or by a script. ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : background this process to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** services (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? The /etc/services file is normally provided by the "netbase" package. If the "netbase" package is installed first, the citadel-server package will append a "citadel 504/tcp" line to /etc/services. I do not think that "citadel-server" should create or change /etc/services during postinst. The attached patch disables this and some other possibly unwanted things (e.g. changes to /etc/inittab) in setup.c. If the citadel entry in /etc/services is really necessary it should probably be added to the etc-services template in the "netbase" package.
