Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.41
Severity: important
Long time now I got the following line every week:
Jun 17 22:06:07 ikki popularity-contest: unable to submit report to
http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi.
I was wondering why I get this message as everything with this site was
OK. Now I search a bit further and found the bug.
Appear of that the error message is completely useless if the error
occurs if the report is empty there is a wrong usage of 'su' in
/etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest. As you can see from 'getent passwd
nobody':
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/false
my System has no useful shell for user nobody (as it should ever be by
the way). So su will ever fail if it is not called with '-s'. You will
find a little patch for the file above in the attachment.
