Package: mini-dinstall
Version: 0.7.0+nmu2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I've installed "mini-dinstall" on "bullseye" (which brought version 0.7.0)
I found out that my "incoming/" folder became inaccessible:
- I've used permissions of 0755, to allow access from web-server scripts
- The real permissions were very different
- I found out the value (0755 or 0o755) was always interpreted as decimal.
- As a workaround, I've set the value to 493 (which is decimal for 0755)
Analysing the code and testing demonstrated the followin:
- It seems the breakage happened in commit dc580be8
- In "mini-dinstall", line 247 of original code the parsing changed:
From:
incoming_permissions = int(configp.get('DEFAULT',
'incoming_permissions'), 8)
To:
incoming_permissions = configp.getint('DEFAULT', 'incoming_permissions')
- I.e: the convertion to base-8 was removed
- But "ConfigParser.getint() does not handle number base.
- This changed happend ~3 years ago, but "buster" had older version, so we
didn't notice this until now.
Fixing this is just one line (attaching a patch)
