Package: popularity-contest Version: 1.28 Severity: normal Tags: sid I've just received an email from cron and popularity-contest seems to break with:
/etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest: tee: standard output: Broken pipe tee: write error The strange thing is that every component separately works, I can pipe popularity-contest to tee and then to sendmail. Adding an echo in a subshell with popularity-contest seems to be less successful, though. Adding "echo this works" in front of the line that says: HOME=/tmp su nobody -pc "sh -c /usr/sbin/popularity-contest" .... results in an email with just "this works" in it, so something in that su command breaks the pipe on my system, probably by messing with stdout redirection. (PS: 'sendmail' is a (working) ssmtp installation, if relevant.)
