Package: wicd Version: 1.7.0+ds1-5 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 9.1.1 (FHS)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Using etckeeper since recently, I noticed the following change: diff --git a/wicd/wireless-settings.conf b/wicd/wireless-settings.conf index 469c425..d4d9e48 100644 - --- a/wicd/wireless-settings.conf +++ b/wicd/wireless-settings.conf @@ -2483,7 +2483,7 @@ dns_domain = None quality = 100 gateway = None use_global_dns = False - -strength = -35 +strength = -29 encryption = True bitrates = 6 Mb/s ip = None @@ -3602,7 +3602,7 @@ dns_domain = None quality = 100 gateway = None use_global_dns = False - -strength = -35 +strength = -29 encryption = True bitrates = 6 Mb/s ip = None … which indicates clearly that wicd uses the /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf as a state file, dynamically modifying values under /etc/ depending on external conditions. AFAIK, this violates FHS; such state files must be under /var/run or /var/lib, not under /etc. Cheers, OdyX - -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (750, 'unstable'), (700, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (700, 'testing'), (700, 'stable'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (101, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (101, 'proposed-updates'), (101, 'experimental'), (101, 'unstable'), (101, 'testing'), (101, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii wicd-cli [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-daemon 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-kde [wicd-client] 0.2.1-5 Wired and wireless network manager wicd recommends no packages. wicd suggests no packages.
