Package: proftpd-basic Version: 1.3.2-1 Severity: normal I transitioned from proftpd to proftpd-basic, and now the proftpd-basic monthly cron job, as specified in /etc/cron.monthly/proftpd-basic, fails with a nonzero exit status. There still exists a monthly cron job in /etc/cron.monthly/proftpd (also part of the proftpd-basic package), which completes successfully. The proftpd-basic job contains a subset of the proftpd job, and it this line that is common to both, that fails:
ftpstats -a -r -l 2 -d -h -f \ /var/log/proftpd/xferlog 2>/dev/null >/var/log/proftpd/xferreport It fails with a code of 255 in /etc/cron.monthly.proftpd-basic, and actually does not really succeed in /etc/cron.monthly/proftpd, there are just some more commands following that do succeed, so the whole job exits with a zero status. If I execute the command without sending its error output to /dev/null, I get a message "There was no data to process". That is not really a problem, just a mildly interesting fact, so the job should still succeed in that case. I don't see why there are two separate cron jobs that do the same thing. That seems like a separate but related problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages proftpd-basic depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.25 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.31 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libacl1 2.2.47-2 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 1:2.4.43-2 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap2 2.16-2 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libncurses5 5.7+20090214-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpam-runtime 1.0.1-5 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii openbsd-inetd [inet-super 0.20080125-2 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii sed 4.1.5-8 The GNU sed stream editor ii ucf 3.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv proftpd-basic recommends no packages.
