Package: cdrom Severity: grave
I cannot determine the exact extend of the problem, but a "ls -la" in "/" reveals this: drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 2008-01-02 21:14 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 2008-01-02 21:14 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-01-02 21:13 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-06-10 13:50 boot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2008-01-02 19:57 cdrom -> media/cdrom drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4340 2007-08-05 17:49 dev drwxr-xr-x 108 root root 4096 2007-08-05 18:35 etc drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2007-06-10 16:00 hdb drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2007-06-10 17:01 home drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-01-02 19:58 initrd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2008-01-02 20:00 initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-486 drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2008-01-02 21:12 lib drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2008-01-02 19:57 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-07-17 00:55 media drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-10-28 16:06 mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-01-02 19:58 opt dr-xr-xr-x 111 root root 0 2007-08-05 17:48 proc -rw------- 1 root root 1024 2008-01-02 21:14 .rnd drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2007-06-10 16:30 root drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-01-02 21:43 sbin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-03-07 23:56 selinux drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-01-02 19:58 srv drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 0 2007-08-05 17:48 sys drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 2007-08-05 18:50 tmp drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2008-01-02 21:08 usr drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2008-01-02 21:41 var lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2008-01-02 20:00 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-486 As you can see, for what reason ever, this installation produced future timestamps on vital directories causing update mechanisms to fail and to complain *all the time*. Installation history: - CD-ROM debian-40r0-i586-netinst - Updates taken as indicated by notifier icon The first symptom was the notorious "ttf-opensymbol" update failure, probably caused by various font directories tagged with future timestamps (/usr/share/fonts, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/, ...) but this bug's effects are obviously not restricted to these places. Since the update infrastructure fails, security fixes can no longer be applied. This however makes the system unusable. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
