--- Begin Message ---Package: base-passwd Version: 3.5.49 Severity: serious In response to https://bugs.debian.org/946884, I changed the irc user's home directory from /var/run/ircd to /run/ircd in base-passwd 3.5.48. However, I noticed in a recent test upgrade from buster to bullseye that this causes users with default configurations to be prompted to accept this change. This was not my intention when making this change: /var/run/ircd and /run/ircd are equivalent (base-files.postinst makes /var/run a symlink to /run) and so the prompt is simply noise that I expect to confuse some users. Some of this confusion is visible for Ubuntu users here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-passwd/+bug/1916651 I think this is worth fixing before it causes problems for users doing stable upgrades. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
