Package: debsecan
Version: 0.4.3.5
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3, http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt (3.,
last paragraph)
$ cat /etc/cron.d/debsecan
# cron entry for debsecan
#
# AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED
# (Delete the preceding line if you edit this file.)
40 * * * * daemon test -x /usr/bin/debsecan && /usr/bin/debsecan --suite etch
--mailto root --cron
# (Note: debsecan delays actual processing past 2:00 AM, and runs only
# once per day.)
This is not acceptable behavior.
In detail: The postinst script of debsecan overwrites local changes,
because the config script does not look into the configuration file,
just into the debconf database (which is *not* meant as a registry), and
the postinst relies on the debconf information and the presence of the
"AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED" line.
Since all that debsecan-create-cron does is to choose a random time, set
the suite and decide whether the file should exist at all, it shouldn't
be hard to do that in a policy-conformant way:
- chosing a random time is only needed when the file doesn't exist
- the suite can be changed by a simple "sed -i" command
- I suggest not to remove the file, but instead add a comment sign
before the cron line (or remove it, to enable), which can also be done
easily with sed.
Regards, Frank
