Package: passwd Version: 1:4.11.1+dfsg1-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: jo...@debian.org Control: affects -1 mmdebstrap
Hi, steps to reproduce: $ sudo debootstrap unstable debian-unstable-good https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20220131T090427Z/ $ sudo debootstrap unstable debian-unstable-bad https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20220131T160201Z/ when diffing both directories one sees: Only in debian-unstable-bad/var/mail: _apt Only in debian-unstable-bad/var/mail: systemd-network Only in debian-unstable-bad/var/mail: systemd-resolve Only in debian-unstable-bad/var/spool/mail: _apt Only in debian-unstable-bad/var/spool/mail: systemd-network Only in debian-unstable-bad/var/spool/mail: systemd-resolve The only packages that differ between both chroots are the versions of login and passwd, hence I'm filing this bug here. The problem is, that this breaks the testsuite and autopkgtest of mmdebstrap. Notably, a chroot created with mmdebstrap does not include these directories. Is this change indeed related to passwd? Is the creation of these empty directories intended? Do you have an explanation why they are only created with debootstrap? Thanks! cheers, josch
