Package: libstdc++6 Version: 5.1.1-9 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
The postinst script of libstdc++6 attempts to remove all __pycache__ dirs from /usr/share/gcc-4.9/python, but doesn't do this in a secure way. If you accidentally had created files in /usr/share/gcc-4.9/python with a space in the name, there is a possiblity that the package upgrade will trigger a 'rm -rf /'. The package upgrade also warns about non-existing /usr/share/gcc-4.9/python, when the dir does not exist. I would advise to use this instead: if [ -n "$2" -a -d /usr/share/gcc-4.9/python ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 5.1.1-9; then find /usr/share/gcc-4.9/python -name __pycache__ -print0 | xargs -0 -r rm -rf fi -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers squeeze-lts APT policy: (500, 'squeeze-lts'), (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
