Package: popularity-contest Version: 1.67 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have noticed that my recent submissions to popularity contest database have failed. After some further investigation and running sudo bash -x /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest to see what is actually happening, I've noticed that it tries to use torify to send the submission: /usr/bin/torify /usr/share/popularity-contest/popcon-upload -u http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi -f /var/log/popularity-contest.new.gpg Although I have tor installed, I don't run it all the time, and only start it on demand. For now, as a workaround, I set USETOR="no". I suggest that this script would check the `service tor status` before actually using torify if USETOR="maybe" and fail if USERTOR="yes".
