Package: dsh Version: 0.25.10-1.1 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
Hi. dsh installs the file /etc/dsh/group/all as a symlink to "../machines.list". Since I didn't like the way that all host lists would be in /etc/dsh/group/ and just the -a list is in /etc/dsh/machines.list I reverted that to: - /etc/dsh/group/all being the regular file - /etc/dsh/machines.list being the symlink to the former In violation of the policy, /etc/dsh/group/all is not a conffile, thus the host list, with precious data, is removed without further asking and installation of the package yields an error: Setting up dsh (0.25.10-1.1) ... dpkg: warning: dsh: config file '/etc/dsh/machines.list' is a circular link (= '/etc/dsh/group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/../group/all') Chris. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
