Package: backuppc Version: 2.1.0-10 Severity: serious In postinst, you modify /etc/backuppc/config.pl which is a conffile.
http://release.debian.org/sarge_rc_policy.txt: 3. Configuration files Packages must not modify their own or other packages conffiles programmatically. (The only correct way to modify a conffile is the user running an editor specifically; if anything more automated is required or useful, configuration files must _NOT_ be handled as conffiles) One possible solution is to move the `hostname` call into the config file. Or you could just make it not be a conffile. --- /scratch/etc/backuppc/config.pl 2005-03-03 23:39:20.000000000 +0100 +++ /etc/backuppc/config.pl 2005-03-23 18:55:02.000000000 +0100 @@ -41,7 +41,9 @@ # # Host name on which the BackupPC server is running. # -$Conf{ServerHost} = 'XXXXXX'; +$ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/usr/bin'; +delete @ENV{'IFS', 'CDPATH', 'ENV', 'BASH_ENV'}; +$Conf{ServerHost} = `hostname`; # # TCP port number on which the BackupPC server listens for and accepts @@ -1610,7 +1612,7 @@ # # URL of the BackupPC_Admin CGI script.
