If that file exists, it's a configuration/tuning mechanism for BDB, as suggested (for example) on the sks-devel list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.pgp.sks/3265/focus=3281 The fix is to avoid trying to back up such a config file as though it were a database table: diff --git a/debian/sks.postinst b/debian/sks.postinst index ba93713..8c1da41 100755 --- a/debian/sks.postinst +++ b/debian/sks.postinst @@ -120,8 +120,12 @@ else cp -a ${SKS_DIR}/${DBHOME}/$log_file ${BACKUP_DIR}/${DBHOME}/ done + if [ -e "${SKS_DIR}/${DBHOME}/DB_CONFIG" ]; then + cp -a ${SKS_DIR}/${DBHOME}/DB_CONFIG ${BACKUP_DIR}/${DBHOME}/ + fi + # Backup & upgrade database files - for db in $(cd ${SKS_DIR}/${DBHOME}; ls -1 | grep -Ev "^(__|log\.)"); do + for db in $(cd ${SKS_DIR}/${DBHOME}; ls -1 | grep -Ev "^(__|log\.|DB_CONFIG$)"); do # Backup database file su debian-sks -c "cp ${SKS_DIR}/${DBHOME}/${db} ${BACKUP_DIR}/${DBHOME}/" # Upgrade database file I've just pushed a "wheezy" branch with this change to git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-sks/pkg-sks.git -- i can upload a full change as 1.1.3-3 to unstable shortly if that would be useful. it would be nice to get this fix into debian 7.2. --dkg
