Package: mediawiki1.7 Version: 1.7.1-6 Severity: serious Justifiaction: Policy 10.7.3
The latest MediaWiki 1.7 upgrade (from -4 to -6, I believe) decided to nuke my LocalSettings.php file in /etc/mediawiki1.7 and replace it with a symlink: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2007-01-29 12:29 /etc/mediawiki1.7/LocalSettings.php -> /var/lib/mediawiki1.7/LocalSettings.php and... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2007-01-04 12:23 /var/lib/mediawiki1.7/LocalSettings.php -> /etc/mediawiki1.7/LocalSettings.php So, it deleted my config file (which was a plain file in /etc/mediawiki1.7) and replaced it with a symlink loop. Thankfully, I have backups! It did the same thing with AdminSettings.php. [Note: I've previously had older versions of mediawiki installed, including 1.5, but they were not installed (but not purged) when this upgrade occured] -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mediawiki1.7 depends on: ii apache2 2.2.3-3.2 Next generation, scalable, extenda ii apache2-mpm-prefork [httpd] 2.2.3-3.2 Traditional model for Apache HTTPD ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii mime-support 3.39-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii php5 5.2.0-8 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php5-cli 5.2.0-8 command-line interpreter for the p ii php5-mysql 5.2.0-8 MySQL module for php5 Versions of packages mediawiki1.7 recommends: ii mysql-server-5.0 [mysql-serve 5.0.30-3 mysql database server binaries ii postgresql-8.1 8.1.6-1 object-relational SQL database, ve -- debconf information: * mediawiki/webserver: apache2 * mediawiki/upgrade-1d5: true * mediawiki/upgrade-1d5-adminuser: root -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
