Ah... it is getting more and more complicated. Nobody would be able to upgrade to 1.5.7-1 normally, so it is OK to use next good version as the fix please? Else, all the upgrade related problems can be easily fixed by purging the old version, and installing a brand new version. Would that be OK as the fix please? This is really a simple script, and I really hope that the debian side won't be complicated by any one-off end cases. > > How to do that please? > The correct way, it seems, would be to follow the suggestion in the > original bug report and fix the "rm -f /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.*" line in > the 1.3.3-1 postrm. I still don't quite understand what you actually mean, but let me make a guess (and commit) and you can tell me if it is what you mean or not... thx Andrey

Note that this isn't just about conffile handling in the package, these error messages also highlight bugs in the scripts that this package includes in /usr/sbin. * The scripts are assuming that files exist and do not test whether they exist. A conffile can be removed by the admin at any time; the software might not be able to work in that case, but it should exit with an informative error message not malfunction. * The scripts do not handle errors properly (at all, really). I think you need to go through each script line by line and ask "what might make this command fail?", "can that failure be prevented?", "if not, what should happen after failure?" * The scripts have at least predictable temp-file issue that allow an unprivileged user to do arbitrary damage to a system, overwriting any file they choose with a simple "ln -s /some/victim/file /tmp/dbab-map.adblock.conf" prior to the admin installing or upgrading the package, or running that script. * maintainer scripts should try very very hard to avoid failing (non-zero exit code) as that failure can be quite awkward to recover from. Failing the postinst because there's a blank line in the config file, for instance, seems pretty harsh. regards Stuart -- Stuart Prescotthttp://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
