Package: firebird2.5-server-common Version: 2.5.2.26540.ds4-15 Severity: important
I have just been upgrading an earlier Jessie system to the current version and get the following error messages during the upgrade: Setting up firebird2.5-server-common (2.5.2.26540.ds4-15) ... find: The current directory is included in the PATH environment variable, which is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find. Please remove the current directory from your $PATH (that is, remove "." or leading or trailing colons) dpkg: error processing package firebird2.5-server-common (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 (further errors relate to dependencies) I do indeed have "." in my PATH (note that the manpage for find lists other entries which should not appear in PATH as well as .). That may be insecure, but it should not prevent installations. In fact, if the installation uses -execdir, it should be defining a specific PATH it wants to use. Redefining PATH as "/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" allows the installation to complete. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE@euro, LC_CTYPE=en_IE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IE@euro) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages firebird2.5-server-common depends on: ii firebird2.5-common-doc 2.5.2.26540.ds4-15 ii libc6 2.19-7 ii libfbclient2 2.5.2.26540.ds4-15 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.0-7 ii libicu52 52.1-4 ii libstdc++6 4.9.0-7 firebird2.5-server-common recommends no packages. firebird2.5-server-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
