Bug#695915: [pkg-horde] Bug#695915: php-horde-role: package installation creates files in the users $HOME: ~/.pearrc
2012/12/14 Andreas Beckmann deb...@abeckmann.de: Package: php-horde-role Version: 1.0.1-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package creates files in the users $HOME: 0m32.9s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: /local/not owned /local/piuparts/ not owned /local/piuparts/piupartss/ not owned /local/piuparts/piupartss/.pearrc not owned The home directory of the piupartss user which runs the tests is /local/piuparts/piupartss, but the tests are run in a chroot and via sudo, so I don't know how the wrong HOME survives ... any way, this is really bad as it may happen in regular systems in some cases creating root owned files in a user HOME (preventing the user to edit these properly) and even worse may take user configuration into account for the system setup. This may not be a fault of php-horde-role but of something related to PEAR or the way how pear is used ... This creation probably comes from the postinst [1] which runs: pear config-set horde_dir /usr/share/horde Here is the help of the config-set pear command: $ pear help config-set pear config-set [options] parameter value [layer] Sets the value of one configuration parameter. The first argument is the name of the parameter, the second argument is the new value. Some parameters are subject to validation, and the command will fail with an error message if the new value does not make sense. An optional third argument may be used to specify in which layer to set the configuration parameter. The default layer is user. The configuration value will be set for the current channel, which is controlled by the default_channel configuration variable. Options: -c CHAN, --channel=CHAN show configuration variables for another channel Using the system layer will probably help. I will upload a new version with this.

Looks like there should be a lintian check for this ... can you file a wishlist bug report against lintian? You analyzed this error and know the details better than I do.

You analyzed this error and know the details better than I do. Yes, but using pear config-set is very rare (I don't know of any other maintscripts using the pear command). -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
