Package: spong-common Version: 2.7.7-8 Severity: serious Tags: patch If the spong.conf setting of SPONGSERVER has spaces around the equals sign (which perl allows), the debconf database is not correctly seeded prior to a configuration, and overwrites the user setting.
Please consider the following two patches against postinst and config. I am using sed instead of perl for brevity. --- /var/lib/dpkg/info/spong-common.postinst.orig 2005-08-23 22:54:12.142434228 +0200 +++ /var/lib/dpkg/info/spong-common.postinst 2005-08-23 22:56:11.892803848 +0200 @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ else - perl -i -p -e "s/^\\\$SPONGSERVER.*$/\\\$SPONGSERVER=\"$RET\";/" $spong_localcfg + sed -i -e "s/\(^$SPONGSERVER *= *\)\".*\".*$/\1\"$RET\"/" $spong_localcfg fi --- /var/lib/dpkg/info/spong-common.config.orig 2005-08-23 22:50:02.764943752 +0200 +++ /var/lib/dpkg/info/spong-common.config 2005-08-23 22:51:26.748635586 +0200 @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ if [ -e $spong_localcfg ]; then - sserver=`sed -ne 's/^$SPONGSERVER=\"\(.*\)\"\;/\1/p' < $spong_localcfg` + sserver=`sed -ne 's/^$SPONGSERVER *= *\"\(.*\)\"\;/\1/p' < $spong_localcfg` if [ "$sserver" ]; then -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (600, 'testing'), (98, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-cirrus Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?
