Control: reassign 1079617 release.debian.org Control: affects 1079617 + src:syslog-ng Control: severity normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: binnmu X-Debbugs-Cc: syslog...@packages.debian.org X-Debbugs-Cc: debian.a...@manchmal.in-ulm.de
nmu syslog-ng_4.4.0-3 . ANY . unstable . -m "Rebuild to restore logrotate and logcheck snippet" Hello, as outlined earlier in this bug, the syslog-ng-core package no longer contains the snippets related to logcheck and logrotate. This was caused by a glitch in debhelper 13.17 and 13.18 where under some circumstances the according files in debian/ were not properly processed. Therefore this package is currently rc-buggy (Policy 10.8, Log files). Please schedule a binNMU for src:syslog-ng 4.4.0-3, this will restore these snippets. Additionally, I've spent some time looking for other packages that suffer from the same problem but didn't find any. The following steps were done: * Rebuild syslog-ng with various debhelper versions. * Identify debhelper 13.17 as the first "bad" version. It appeared in the archives on Aug 13th. * Identify debhelper 13.19 as the first "good again" version, appeared on Aug 18th. * As there is no way I'm aware of to identify packages built using a particular version of a given build dependency: Find all the packages in today's unstable that appeared between (including) August 13th and August 19th, so likely were built using the affected debhelper versions. * Compare the version of the package with the one listed in the last dinstall run before the appearance of the bad debhelper, as available via at http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20240813T144616Z * If the snapshot version has a logrotate and/or logcheck snippet but the later version does not, this is a candidate. * Make sure this was not a deliberate maintainer decision. Only syslog-ng was reported in this check after processing about 1280 binary packages. There is a slight chance this check did not find all the affected packages, especially if they were build right after the first bad debhelper version entered the archive. If someone can provide a better check, I'll be happy to re-run the test. Kind regards,
