Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.27
Severity: minor
The patch included in 1.1.21 was wrong wrt config files
(/etc/cron.d/apticron, /etc/apticron/apticron.conf) permissions. Sorry
for that. Having config files (that don't contain sensitive data) not
readable by everyone is just a way to annoy people.
The simple patch proposed fix this for new installations, but doesn't
for upgrades. IMHO, the preferable (and simplest) way is to add a note
in NEWS.Debian explaining that the sysadmin could change the file
permissions by hand (including files in /var/lib/ucf/).
Thanks,
Gian Piero.
