Package: amd64-libs Version: 1.2 I was tempted to make this "Severity: critical", but since I doubt the bug will manifest itself anytime soon, I'm leaving it as normal. I hope this was the right thing to do.
While testing amd64-libs-dev with piuparts, I noticed that /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5 is left behind on the system and while looking for the package that is responsible for this, I noticed that the amd64-libs postrm script seems to have a potentially serious bug: if grep -v '^/lib64$' /etc/ld.so.conf > /etc/ld.so.conf-amd64-libs-tmp; then chmod 0644 /etc/ld.so.conf-amd64-libs-tmp mv /etc/ld.so.conf-amd64-libs-tmp /etc/ld.so.conf else rm -f /etc/ld.so.conf fi I'm pretty sure that the else part should remove /etc/ld.so.conf-amd64-libs-tmp instead of /etc/ld.so.conf. The error is repeated in the other if statements, a total of three times, if I count correctly. Later in the postrm the temporary file is removed anyway, so I guess the elses could be removed completely? The postrm script also runs ldconfig only after it has modified /etc/ld.so.conf. Would it not be sensible to run it beforehand, so that ldconfig will remove links in the various 64-bit library directories? (I suspect this is why the libncurses.so.5 link is left behind on purge, but I haven't investigated it yet.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
