Package: openafs-client Version: 1.4.11+dfsg-6~bpo50+1 Severity: important Any time openafs-client is upgraded, it would appear the package is overwriting /etc/openafs/CellServDB with the cell and db servers entered at initial install time, based on what's stored in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat.
At least for us, this means the one and only db server we started out with (which has long ago been retired) is entered into a normally empty CellServDB (we blank these files and use AFSDB instead), resulting in most afs-related functions to timeout waiting for this old server to respond, if they timeout at all. Maybe this is the desired behavior, but it doesn't make much sense to overwrite configuration files that the user has since modified after initial install time. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openafs-client depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages openafs-client recommends: ii lsof 4.78.dfsg.1-4 List open files ii openafs-modules-dkms 1.4.11+dfsg-6 AFS distributed filesystem kernel Versions of packages openafs-client suggests: ii openafs-doc 1.4.7.dfsg1-6+lenny2 AFS distributed filesystem documen ii openafs-krb5 1.4.11+dfsg-6~bpo50+1 AFS distributed filesystem Kerbero -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
