Package: fmirror
Version: 2:0.8.4-13
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi,
I installed fmirror on a debian etch machine (i686) and did
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> apt-get install fmirror
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> man fmirror
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cd ~/webbackup/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fmirror -s <host> -u <username> -S -r . -l . -p
<password> -T 0
Result: It deleted /bin !!
This also happens if "-l ." is replaced by "-l /home/username/webbackup" .
Expected result: download into local dir as given in manual.
Surely I missed leaving root before downloading some ftp data but nevertheless
this is a really bad issue.
Furthermore, it would have removed /home if I had run it unsupervised.
Sincerely,
M. Braun

The fmirror package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/490982 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
