Package: samba-common Version: 2:3.6.6-2 Severity: normal samba-common provides a dhcp-client hook script, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/samba, which apparently writes to /etc thus breaking boot when the rootfs is read-only.
SAMBA_DHCP_CONF=/etc/samba/dhcp.conf <...> echo -n > ${SAMBA_DHCP_CONF}.new <...> mv ${SAMBA_DHCP_CONF}.new $SAMBA_DHCP_CONF It'd be cool if that could be disabled via /etc/defaults, or, better, if it could detect that location not being writable and not try to write there if it is. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.6-trunk-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages samba-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii ucf 3.0016 Versions of packages samba-common recommends: ii samba-common-bin 2:3.5.6~dfsg-1 samba-common suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
