Hi folks,
I found a bug in Debian's latest 9.3 update where the postinst script of
a package contained the line:
"su - username do something...."
It broke the package upgrade because the use of the dash "-" invokes a
full shell and we have a file in /etc/profile.d that somehow conflicted.
I removed the /etc/profile.d file and reinstalled with no problem. Put
my /etc/profile.d file back and reported the bug. I've just run across
it again on a fresh install of another package. I've reported that bug
but clearly this seems to be an issue involving the use of "su -" in
postinst.
My problem is that I have no clue where I should report this. Does
anyone have any suggestions? TIA
