Package: ikiwiki Version: 3.20100815.7 Severity: normal
When a user arrives at the login page with no "postsignin" in the session cookie (e.g., due to having bookmarked the login page) the login fails with the message: "login failed, perhaps you need to turn on cookies?" This is confusing to a user arriving from a bookmark, since cookies are likely to be turned on in this case. The current behavior is due to commit 9dbbbd (1/7/2008) and _is_ needed to avoid login failing silently when the user _does_ have cookies turned off. The best fix may be to make the error message cover both cases, e.g.: "login failed, perhaps you need to turn on cookies? If you are attempting to login from a bookmark, try clicking on the edit link on the page that you want to edit." -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ikiwiki depends on: ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.68-1+b1 collection of modules that parse H ii libhtml-scrubber-perl 0.08-4 Perl extension for scrubbing/sanit ii libhtml-template-perl 2.9-2 module for using HTML Templates wi ii libtext-markdown-perl 1.0.26-1 Markdown and MultiMarkdown markup ii liburi-perl 1.58-1 module to manipulate and access UR ii perl 5.12.3-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages ikiwiki recommends: ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.4.5-1 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.3 [c-compiler] 4.3.5-4 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.4 [c-compiler] 4.4.5-8 The GNU C compiler ii git [git-core] 1:1.7.2.5-2 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii git-core 1:1.7.2.5-2 fast, scalable, distributed revisi pn libauthen-passphrase-perl <none> (no description available) ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Developmen ii libcgi-formbuilder-perl 3.05.01-7 Easily generate and process statef ii libcgi-session-perl 4.43-1 persistent session data in CGI app pn liblwpx-paranoidagent-perl <none> (no description available) ii libmail-sendmail-perl 0.79.16-1 Send email from a perl script ii libnet-openid-consumer-perl 1.03-1 library for consumers of OpenID id pn libterm-readline-gnu-perl <none> (no description available) ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 collection of modules to manipulat ii libxml-simple-perl 2.18-3 Perl module for reading and writin Versions of packages ikiwiki suggests: pn dvipng <none> (no description available) ii gettext 0.18.1.1-3 GNU Internationalization utilities ii gitweb 1:1.7.2.5-2 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii graphviz 2.26.3-6+b1 rich set of graph drawing tools ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.57-2+b2 Support for https protocol in LWP pn libfile-mimeinfo-perl <none> (no description available) pn libhighlight-perl <none> (no description available) ii libhtml-tree-perl 4.2-1 Perl module to represent and creat ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-6+b1 Using libc functions for internati ii libmailtools-perl 2.07-1 Manipulate email in perl programs pn libnet-amazon-s3-perl <none> (no description available) pn librpc-xml-perl <none> (no description available) ii libsearch-xapian-perl 1.2.5.0-3+b1 Perl bindings for the Xapian searc pn libsort-naturally-perl <none> (no description available) pn libsparkline-php <none> (no description available) ii libtext-csv-perl 1.18-1 comma-separated values manipulator pn libtext-textile-perl <none> (no description available) pn libtext-typography-perl <none> (no description available) pn libtext-wikicreole-perl <none> (no description available) pn libtext-wikiformat-perl <none> (no description available) pn libxml-feed-perl <none> (no description available) pn libyaml-perl <none> (no description available) ii perlmagick 8:6.6.9.7-2 Perl interface to the ImageMagick pn po4a <none> (no description available) pn polygen <none> (no description available) ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze6 interactive high-level object-orie pn python-docutils <none> (no description available) pn texlive <none> (no description available) pn tidy <none> (no description available) ii xapian-omega 1.2.3-1 CGI search interface and indexers -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
