--- Begin Message ---Package: email-reminder Version: 0.8.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Since February 19th 2025, the cron.daily task which send email reminders issued following error: Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/share/perl5/EmailReminder/Utils.pm line 140. I am using testing and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade is done almost every days. Concerned lines are the one which get $distro and $kernel for debug info. Searching on internet shows that most of the time, above error seems to be linked to file permissions so I checked them. /usr/bin, /bin (which is a symlink to /usr/bin), lsb_release and uname are all mod 755 group root user root. If I make the dirty changes below (as this is just to get debug info), error did not happen and email remider send emails. # my $distro = `/usr/bin/lsb_release -s -d`; chomp $distro; my $distro = ''; chomp $distro; # my $kernel = `/bin/uname -a`; chomp $kernel; my $kernel = ''; chomp $kernel; Before doing above, I also try with $ENV{PATH} = '/usr/bin; /bin'; without success. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.12-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages email-reminder depends on: ii adduser 3.137 ii cron 3.0pl1-192 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.89 ii libdate-manip-perl 6.96-1 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.204-1 ii libxml-dom-perl 1.46-2 ii perl 5.40.1-2 ii python3 3.13.1-2 ii python3-defusedxml 0.7.1-3 ii python3-pyside2.qtcore 5.15.16-3.1 ii python3-pyside2.qtgui 5.15.16-3.1 ii python3-pyside2.qtwidgets 5.15.16-3.1 Versions of packages email-reminder recommends: ii anacron 2.3-41 ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.98-3+b1 ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1700-1 ii libemail-mime-encodings-perl 1.317-1 ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.04-2 email-reminder suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded Best regards
