Package: general Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When /tmp is configured as noexec (for example /tmp in RAM), some scripts fail on package update. For example, updating kernel package try to execute scripts in /tmp and in /etc/kernel/xxx The first fail (in /tmp), while the other is successful (under /etc/kernel). This doesn't fail the upgrade globally, just these scripts (for which execution is prevented by the system) fail. This doesn't seem to long-term affect the system, but it's not easy for a user to understand which are the consequences of the scripts failure. Maybe no package install or upgrade should try to exec scripts under /tmp.
