Package: tinyproxy Version: 1.8.2-1squeeze1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable X-Debbugs-CC: e...@debian.org;sfr...@snowman.net
Hi. Thank you for maintaining tinyproxy in Debian. tinyproxy 1.6.3-2 from Debian 5 "lenny" worked fine. I just upgraded to Debian 6 "squeeze" and the new tinyproxy 1.8.2-1squeeze1. Now tinyproxy fails to start with a series of error messages including "tinyproxy: Could not open file /var/log/tinyproxy.log: Permission denied". Downgrading to 1.6.3-2 makes the problem go away. I wonder if this could be a regression of the ancient bug http://bugs.debian.org/159614 ("drops perms before opening log file"). That's a bug which was handled by ed, sfrost, and upstream. Do you have copies of ancient tinyproxy 1.5.1-1 and tinyproxy 1.5.1-2 (from 2002) that you could post online or email me please? Maybe that will help me try to see if this is the case. Here's a transcript showing the problem. [spiro@amd ~]% sudo /etc/init.d/tinyproxy start Restarting tinyproxy: tinyproxy.
