Hi, It just occured to me that any evil intentioned or mad maintainer could add rm -rf / or anything of this sort in a postinst script.
I just would like to know what kind of protection debian could offer against such an unpleasant event. I am sure Bruce cannot afford to be very picky in the choice of maintainers (there are orphan packages crying for one). This is the kind of argument against Debian being used at large in my institute, the result being that half man pages are missing, even if you have such a complete manpath as MANPATH=/lapphp8/users/orloff/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/local.old/man:/lapphp0_2/local/X11R5/man:/lapphp1_1/usr/man:/lapphp1_1/usr/local/man:/usr/contrib/man Amities, Jean Orloff +++++++++ + + + + + + + ++++++ +Tel:(33)50.09.16.75 Fax:(33)50.09.94.95 http://lapphp0.in2p3.fr/~orloff/ + +++++++++ + + + + + + + ++++++ In a Belgrade hotel elevator: To move the cabin, push button for wishing floor.
