Package: aide-common Version: 0.16~a2.git20130520-1 Severity: grave Hi,
In order to make sure that the bug #641810 has indeed been fixed, I removed '/etc/aide' directory and all its content as 'aide-common' does not clean up after itself on 'purge'. This has already been reported nearly a year ago in a bug #683877, to which the error message below, seems to be related to. The latter bug needs its severity increased to 'important' at the very least, BTW, as it prevent one from fully reinstalling the package in question. After dozens of: Not replacing deleted config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/... Package installation hangs indefinitely after: /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_apt: line 3: /etc/aide/aide.settings.d/10_aide_sourceslist: No such file or directory Processes which are running and are related to the package: % ps auwx|grep aide root 8710 0.0 0.9 17492 13976 pts/4 Ss+ 16:30 0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 45 --configure aide:powerpc aide-common:all root 8711 0.4 0.8 19016 13712 pts/4 S+ 16:31 0:06 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/aide-common.postinst configure root 8718 0.0 0.0 2128 656 pts/4 S+ 16:31 0:00 /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/aide-common.postinst configure root 17256 0.0 0.0 4720 1520 pts/4 S+ 16:33 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/sbin/update-aide.conf root 17260 0.0 0.0 4720 920 pts/4 S+ 16:33 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/sbin/update-aide.conf root 17261 0.0 0.0 4720 648 pts/4 S+ 16:33 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/sbin/update-aide.conf root 17275 0.0 0.0 4712 1496 pts/4 S+ 16:33 0:00 /bin/bash /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_apt root 17278 0.0 0.0 4712 504 pts/4 S+ 16:33 0:00 /bin/bash /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_apt The fix was quite simple: % cd /usr/share/aide/config/aide && \ for i in aide.conf aide.conf.d/* aide.settings.d/* ; \ do sudo ucf --purge /etc/aide/$i ; done It is, however, unacceptable as a solution to both #683877 and, in turn, this bug. In order to resolve this one, bug #683877 needs to be fixed first. Thank you for your work on AIDE packages. Kind regards, Raf P.S. What is the benefit of having all the configuration under '/usr/share/aide/config/aide' and then all of it copied *again* to '/etc/aide'? Wouldn't it be easier to install all of the files directly to '/etc/aide' in the first place? -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (999, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages aide-common depends on: iu aide 0.16~a2.git20130520-1 ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20111106cvs-1 ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.182 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.50 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-41 ii liblockfile1 1.09-6 ii mailutils [mailx] 1:2.99.97-3 ii ucf 3.0027 Versions of packages aide-common recommends: ii cron 3.0pl1-124 aide-common suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * aide/aideinit: true aideinit/overwritenew: true * aideinit/copynew: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
