analysis:
01:06 < nekral> hi
01:09 < nekral> I'm looking at the log and here are clarifications of my thought
01:12 < nekral> in #276419, we were asked not to concatenate all arguments
before passing them to the shell (or command if -c)
01:15 < nekral> Another point was asked by 276419-submitter: not to add a -c
argument to the executed shell when no command was provided to su (with -c)
01:16 < nekral> regarding the first point:
01:16 < nekral> * the old behavior was not documented ("Any arguments supplied
after the username will be passed to the invoked shell")
01:18 < nekral> * the old behavior differ from current upstream (and probably
from other distribution, upstream using a patch from redhat)
01:19 < nekral> * applications requiring that the arguments are concatenated
should concatenate themself
01:19 < nekral> Then regarding the second point:
01:21 < nekral> * the man page does not indicate that -c is inserted in the
list of arguments provided to the shell
01:24 < nekral> (thus "su - $USERNAME -- -x" should work and should execute
a shell in debug mode (the arguments should be [<shell>, "-x"] and not
[<shell>, "-c", ""-x"])
01:31 < nekral> Then, if too many packages relied on the previous behavior, and
if only 276419-submitter push for the applied patch, then a pragmatical approch
could be to revert
01:31 < nekral> (We can also only revert one of the above points)
01:33 < nekral> Zugschlus, I don't understand the point about your "clamav-data
testing script on debian-volatile"
01:34 < nekral> did it occured with login 4.0.3-36?
01:34 < nekral> "su - $ACCOUNT -c bash" works nicely with login 4.0.3-36
01:37 < nekral> (also, I can't find any reference to su in "clamav-data)
07:42 < Zugschlus> fsck, nekral isn't there
07:43 < Zugschlus> the testing script is not part of the package
