Package: postgresql-common Version: 25 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
After upgrade from version 23 postgres-8.0 fails to start with: ---8<---8<--- FATAL: unsichere Berechtigungen für private Schlüsseldatei »/var/lib/postgresql/8.0/main/server.key« DETAIL: Die Datei muss dem Datenbankbenutzer gehören und keine Berechtigungen für »Gruppe« oder »Andere« haben. ---8<---8<--- I don't want to try it with other locale settings because I don't want to loose more accounting data. It sais "isecure permissions" and wants the file to be owned by the database user an have maximum permissions of 0700. My permissions are: ---8<---8<--- # file: etc/ssl/private/server.tiwe.homelinux.org_key.pem # owner: root # group: root user::r-- user:postgres:r-- user:Debian-exim:r-- group::--- mask::r-- other::--- ---8<---8<--- (The key file is made immutable to keep cupsys from changing permissions) If postgres thinks the file is insecure it could issue a warning, but refusing to start is NOT OK. Finally I AM THE ADMIN and I know what I'm doing. I don't need any program pretending to be more clever than me. There was no warning to check permissions before upgrading, so I lost accounting data (not serious, it costs me no money).
