Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.8 Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Control: affects -1 syslog-ng-core
Hi, the syslog-ng-core is one of the few packages using symlink conffiles, causing trouble for piuparts and debsums because dpkg does not properly handle this. There are several other issues with symlink-conffiles, but none seemed to match this. The following files are shipped by the syslog-ng-core package in sid: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Oct 3 15:49 /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Oct 3 15:49 /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 251 Oct 3 15:49 /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service The symlinks in /etc/ are conffiles. And syslog-ng.service is having these md5sums: 3933398f3e6cf91d25e515977876208b /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service <== 3.3.6-1, sid 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service <== 3.3.5-2, wheezy dpkg -s syslog-ng-core (relevant parts extracted) # fresh installation on wheezy: Package: syslog-ng-core Version: 3.3.5-2 Conffiles: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 # fresh installation on sid: Package: syslog-ng-core Version: 3.3.6-1 Conffiles: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service 3933398f3e6cf91d25e515977876208b /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service 3933398f3e6cf91d25e515977876208b # fresh installation on wheezy and distupgrade to sid: Package: syslog-ng-core Version: 3.3.6-1 Conffiles: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 The md5sum for the symlink-conffiles does not get updated during package upgrades - the link itself does not change, but the link target (that was hashed and is not a conffile in this example) has been updated. And of course debsums claims there are modified conffiles ... Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-bugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
