Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.9+deb7u7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
A local config file was not being read by any of the apt tools.
phil@bispaz:bin$ apt-config dump | grep Install-R
APT::Install-Recommends "1";
When I renamed it:
phil@bispaz:bin$ sudo mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99bispaz.local
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99bispaz_local
it was then read correctly:
phil@bispaz:bin$ apt-config dump | grep Install-R
APT::Install-Recommends "0";
The old name was not in the Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently list
As there can be security-related, and directory-path-related settings
in such files, there could be some quite nasty repercussions if
intended settings were indeed not set.
strace shows no attempt is made to open the file when it has the
bug-inducing name:
phil@bispaz:bin$ strace -e open,getdents apt-config dump 2>&1 >/dev/null
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
getdents(3, /* 7 entries */, 32768) = 224
open("/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/libapt-pkg4.12.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/libapt-pkg4.12.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
getdents(3, /* 0 entries */, 32768) = 0
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf", O_RDONLY) = 3
Compared to when it has the working name:
phil@bispaz:bin$ strace -e open,getdents apt-config dump 2>&1 >/dev/null
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
getdents(3, /* 7 entries */, 32768) = 224
getdents(3, /* 0 entries */, 32768) = 0
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99bispaz_local", O_RDONLY) = 3
The additional open()s might imply that it's interpreting the ".local"
name as having some special meaning, but nowhere is that behaviour
documented.
