Bug#553285: cfs: read-in-maintainer-script (postinst:35, postinst:81)

severity 553285 normal
thanks

The 'read' calls in this maintainer script only trigger on upgrade from a
version earlier than 1.4.1-3.  Since the version of cfs in oldstable is
1.4.1-17, these prompts only occur in the case of an unsupported upgrade
from sarge.

At this point, the code should simply be removed.

Bug#553285: cfs: read-in-maintainer-script (postinst:35, postinst:81)

2009-10-29 Thread Manoj Srivastava
Package: cfs
Version: 1.4.1-20
Severity: serious
User: lintian-ma...@debian.org
Usertags: read-in-maintainer-script

 This maintainer script appears to use read to get information from the
 user. Prompting in maintainer scripts must be done by communicating through a
 program such as debconf which conforms to the Debian Configuration management
 specification, version 2 or higher.
 
 Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 3.9.1 (Prompting in maintainer scripts)
 for details.
 
,[ 3.9.1 Prompting in maintainer scripts ]
| Package maintainer scripts may prompt the user if necessary. Prompting must be
| done by communicating through a program, such as debconf, which conforms to 
the
| Debian Configuration Management Specification, version 2 or higher.
| 
| Packages which are essential, or which are dependencies of essential packages,
| may fall back on another prompting method if no such interface is available 
when
| they are executed.
| 
| The Debian Configuration Management Specification is included in the
| debconf_specification files in the debian-policy package.
