Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-38
Severity: normal
The postinst for initscripts attempts to create (and, later, remove) a
directory in root:
=====
$ grep '\.root' /var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.postinst: mkdir -p /.root
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.postinst: if mount -n --bind / /.root ;
then
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.postinst: if [ -L /.root/var ] &&
[ ! -d /.root/var ] ; then
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.postinst: mkdir -p
/.root/var/run /.root/var/lock
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.postinst: umount /.root
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.postinst: rmdir /.root
=====
This is rude -- don't create new top-level entries in the root
directory unless warranted by the FHS -- and fails on systems (such as
this one) where the root directory has 'setattr +i' for security.

=====
Please create temporary directories somewhere that can be expected to be
writable; the root directory is not the place for that.
