--- Begin Message ---Package: snort-common Version: 2.9.15.1-4 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed the piuparts upgrade test because dpkg detected a conffile as being modified and then prompted the user for an action. As there is no user input, this fails. But this is not the real problem, the real problem is that this prompt shows up in the first place, as there was nobody modifying this conffile at all, the package has just been installed and upgraded... This is a violation of policy 10.7.3, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#behavior, which says "[These scripts handling conffiles] must not ask unnecessary questions (particularly during upgrades), and must otherwise be good citizens." https://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling should help with figuring out how to do this properly. In https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/08/msg00675.html and followups it has been agreed that these bugs are to be filed with severity serious. This was observed during a buster -> bullseye upgrade. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Setting up snort-common (2.9.15.1-4) ... Configuration file '/etc/cron.daily/snort-common' ==> File on system created by you or by a script. ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** snort-common (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing package snort-common (--configure): end of file on stdin at conffile prompt Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-9) ... Errors were encountered while processing: snort-common cheers, Andreas

Thank you Chris Hofstaedtler for the tip (Closes: #984614) * debian/control: Add Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.17.14) as we are now using dpkg-maintscript-helper * debian/snort-common.{postrm,preinst}, debian/snort.{postinst,postrm,preinst,prerm}: Add DEBIAN_SCRIPT_DEBUG to all maintainer scripts * debian/snort.logrotate: Correct name of the alert files (snort.alert and not 'alert') this error prevented files from being properly logrotated * configure.in: Added patch to check if rpc/rpc.h is required and is provided by libtirpc-dev to warn Ubuntu users that libtirpc-dev is required. Note: not added libtirpc-dev to Build-Depends as Debian's glibc6-dev includes the RPC headers (LP: #1906572) * debian/patches/decoding_do_not_assume_ipv4: Add patch provided by Hugh Davenport to not assume that all raw packets are IPv4 packets.
