Package: mantis
Version: 0.19.2-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5
The following section in mantis.postinst renders the package
uninstallable on any system without the /etc/apache directory.
servers="apache apache-perl apache-ssl apache2"
for webserver in "$webservers"; do
if [ ! -e /etc/${webserver}/conf.d/mantis ]; then
ln -s ${includefile} /etc/${webserver}/conf.d/mantis
fi
done
The if statement should also check if any directory leading up
to the last one exists before assuming it's OK to install the
link. For me, without apache 1.3, postinst fails in ln with
ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/apache/conf.d/mantis' to
`/etc/mantis/apache.conf':
No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing mantis (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Please redo the if statement to something like this:
servers="apache apache-perl apache-ssl apache2"
for webserver in "$webservers"; do
if [ -d /etc/${webserver} -a -d /etc/${webserver}/conf.d -a ! -e
/etc/${webserver}/conf.d/mantis ]; then
ln -s ${includefile} /etc/${webserver}/conf.d/mantis
fi
done
