Package: backuppc Version: 3.3.1-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, trying to access the web user interface to BackupPC left me with an empty page. After the user name and password were entered successfully did Firefox only download a binary file. It appears to have been a CGI executable, which probably should have been executed by Apache, but was instead treated as a binary download. After removing the package in full (including configuration) did it leave a directory "/etc/backuppc" as well as a new user "backuppc" on the system. I do however expect it to remove the user and the configuration directory, especially since it was a new installation without any modification or customisation. Further do I find it questionable for a package to create a new user account "backuppc" when there is already a perfectly sound "backup" user account on the system. I understand "backup" is a default user account on all Debian systems. The least it should do is to ask about creating a new account and otherwise to use Debian's "backup" account as default. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.3-sven (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
