Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.3.4-2
Severity: serious
I just did an upgrade and this is what I got on the console:
Setting up rkhunter (1.3.4-2) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/rkhunter.conf ...
chmod: cannot access `/var/lib/rkhunter/{db,tmp}': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing rkhunter (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
The directory does exist:
$ ls -ld /var/lib/rkhunter/
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 2006-09-27 00:57 /var/lib/rkhunter/
$ ls -l /var/lib/rkhunter/
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 2009-03-09 11:40 db
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 2009-03-07 06:28 tmp
Looks like this line in the postinst doesn't work:
chmod 750 /var/lib/rkhunter/{db,tmp}
I suggest changing it to:
chmod 750 /var/lib/rkhunter/db
chmod 750 /var/lib/rkhunter/tmp
which is probably the easiest solution. I guess the '{db,tmp}' only
works with '/bin/bash' but not portably with '/bin/sh' and bashisms
should be avoided in scripts.
HTH, Uwe.
