Package: uw-imapd Version: 7:2002edebian1-11 Severity: important
I regularly upgrade servers with scripts that dont use login shells. Example below. <snip> #!/bin/sh ssh -l root server.com ' export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update apt-get upgrade ' </snip> The debian postinst script with uw-imapd and ipopd uses /dev/stderr which isnt present when a user doesnt have a login shell. Below is an error i get when trying to upgrade uw-imapd.
