Package: uucp
Version: 1.07-12
Severity: normal
When upgrading uucp package, the upgrade fails with the
following message:
Setting up uucp (1.07-12) ...
chown: cannot access `/etc/uucp/call': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing uucp (--configure):
This is due to /etc/uucp/call file missing as it has been
deleted (probably by me) previously, for some reason.
In postinst script, we have:
if [ -n "$version" ] && \
dpkg --compare-versions "$version" lt 1.07-10
then
chown uucp:uucp /etc/uucp/call
fi
I think this chown should be conditional, based on presence
of the file in question.
More, I think the ownership here is wrong: no files in /etc/uucp
should be owned by uucp for security reasons. I know it' stricky
with current uucico being setgid dialout...
