Bug#690051: symlink-conffiles: dpkg stores md5sum of target file in its database and does not update it on upgrades
Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.8 Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Control: affects -1 syslog-ng-core Hi, the syslog-ng-core is one of the few packages using symlink conffiles, causing trouble for piuparts and debsums because dpkg does not properly handle this. There are several other issues with symlink-conffiles, but none seemed to match this. The following files are shipped by the syslog-ng-core package in sid: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Oct 3 15:49 /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Oct 3 15:49 /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 251 Oct 3 15:49 /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service The symlinks in /etc/ are conffiles. And syslog-ng.service is having these md5sums: 3933398f3e6cf91d25e515977876208b /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service <== 3.3.6-1, sid 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service <== 3.3.5-2, wheezy dpkg -s syslog-ng-core (relevant parts extracted) # fresh installation on wheezy: Package: syslog-ng-core Version: 3.3.5-2 Conffiles: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 # fresh installation on sid: Package: syslog-ng-core Version: 3.3.6-1 Conffiles: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service 3933398f3e6cf91d25e515977876208b /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service 3933398f3e6cf91d25e515977876208b # fresh installation on wheezy and distupgrade to sid: Package: syslog-ng-core Version: 3.3.6-1 Conffiles: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service 41541800d349863ddd9f4279211ec4b3 The md5sum for the symlink-conffiles does not get updated during package upgrades - the link itself does not change, but the link target (that was hashed and is not a conffile in this example) has been updated. And of course debsums claims there are modified conffiles ... Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-bugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Well, once this is natively supported by dpkg, what would be stored would be the target of the symlink not its hash. The conffile prompt interface would need to be adapted to show the difference in symlink targets, etc. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-bugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
