So i observed what Tim reported. Hi Cesare, Hi Tim, I am a bit confused as to if this is a new problem or not. I initially thought that Tim's idea that this was a result of the change made to resolve #595207 was correct, but now I'm not so sure. The change made for #595207 was to remove the portion of the postrm script that removes the .db files. So its expected (though entirely undesirable) that 1.17.1-2 removes them, while 1.17.1-2+lenny2 should not. However, I don't think that installing (or upgrading) perdition has ever created the .db files. So I'm unsure why this problem hasn't been observed. As for a fix, I wonder if it is appropriate to have perdition run make to create the .db files in its postinst. And having an dependency on make accordingly. Moving forwards this shouldn't be necessary, as the db files aren't removed by postrm any more. But there is no telling what version a user might be upgrading from. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Today i upgraded from 1.17.1-2 to 1.17.1-2+lenny2 and after a reboot for a kernel upgrade, some user started complaining about authentication errors. So i observed what Tim reported.

Bug#606048: Perdition package upgrade removes and does not regenerate .db files
Package: perdition Version: 1.17.1-2+lenny2 Severity: serious I just upgraded to the latest lenny perdition package. The upgrade resulted in the /etc/perdition/popmap.*.db files being removed and not regenerated. It seems that I was upgrading from 1.17.1-2. I suspect this could be the result of the fix for bug #595432. I'm not sure if it is a bug in the old package or a bug in the new package version but the new packages should gracefully upgrade from the old, irrespective of which one is 'wrong'. This resulted in loss of service while the problem was debugged and corrected so I consider it a serious problem.
