Package: dsh
Version: 0.25.10-1.1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss



Hi.

dsh installs the file /etc/dsh/group/all as a symlink to "../machines.list".

Since I didn't like the way that all host lists would be in /etc/dsh/group/
and just the -a list is in /etc/dsh/machines.list I reverted that to:
- /etc/dsh/group/all being the regular file
- /etc/dsh/machines.list being the symlink to the former

In violation of the policy, /etc/dsh/group/all is not a conffile,
thus the host list, with precious data, is removed without further
asking and installation of the package yields an error:
Setting up dsh (0.25.10-1.1) ...
dpkg: warning: dsh: config file '/etc/dsh/machines.list' is a circular link
 (= 
'/etc/dsh/group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/all')
