Package: ssl-cert Version: 1.0.35 Severity: normal Tags: d-i During a recent install, I ended up with a \ at the end of my FQDN in /etc/hosts.
This caused make-ssl-cert to bomb out in create_temporary_cnf() due to the sed command having bad quoting. It wasn't overly easy to track down the problem due to the rather unhelpful error message. I claim there are three bugs here: 1) The installer should not have allowed me to store an invalid FQDN 2) The 'hostname' command should generate a helpful error message rather than return an invalid FQDN. 3) The make-ssl-cert command should verify the hostname before passing it to sed (to handle the case where 'hostname' doesn't do the right thing per 2) above. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ssl-cert depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.55 ii openssl 1.0.1k-1 ssl-cert recommends no packages.
