Package: autofs5 Version: 5.0.4-3 Severity: important I'll need to see how UCF behaves on future upgrades when I have more time, so this is currently just what I have observed with previous upgrades:
I have edited the default /etc/auto.master to include the line /net /etc/auto.net however, it appears that upon upgrade of the package, this is replaced by the default file again. It's saved as /etc/auto.master.ucf-old, but autofs no longer works since the actual configuration has been reverted to the package default. % ls -l /etc/auto.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 657 Dec 6 23:57 /etc/auto.master -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 344 Jun 21 10:27 /etc/auto.master.ucf-old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 524 Jul 29 18:58 /etc/auto.misc -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 885 Aug 2 19:35 /etc/auto.net -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1374 Jul 29 18:58 /etc/auto.net.ucf-dist -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 885 Jun 21 10:35 /etc/auto.net.ucf-old -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 660 Jul 29 18:58 /etc/auto.smb >From the dates I guess this was from 5.0.4-2, but it appears it was broken again with the 5.0.4-3 upgrade since it's been broken since then (I've never touched the files since I originally configured it, and I've never been asked about them by dpkg or ucf AFAICR). It's possible this isn't a bug, but I'm reporting it in case ucf isn't being used correctly and is in fact replacing the sysadmin's hand-crafted configuration with its own default, which would be a serious bug. Is there any real need to use UCF, rather than just let dpkg handle everything?
