package: checkinstall
version: 1.5.3-3
severity: grave
Hello!
I wanted to use checkinstall to create a 'Sun Java JRE' Package out of
Sun's self-installing bin-file. So I started
'checkinstall ./jre-1_5_0-$foo.bin' as root several times and tried out
some of the options to make the package meet my needs.
After playing around with checkinstall a bit, a severe problem occured
on my system:
I could not log in as a normal user anymore but only as root. Trying to
log in as a normal user allways gave the error message 'no shell'.
Programs like exim4, sudo and gdm did not work anymore either.
After a lot of work and time I found out that the permissions of the
base dir '/' were set to 700! So a simple 'chmod 755 /' was the
solution.
Nevertheless I have not been far away from reinstalling Debian!
I do not know if 'checkinstall' itself or 'installwatch' are blamable on
this, but I think that it MUST be guaranteed that no program leaves your
system in such a state. No matter if the user has done a handling
error / faulty operation or not.
I send a bcc-copy to the upstream author as well!
Nice Greetings,
Fabian
