Package: tripwire
Version: 2.4.2-9
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

After changing a monitored part of the system, one runs

   tripwire -m c -I

Even accepting all changes, the next time a check is run
it fails again if the command was issued from a monitored
directory.  It is not uncommon to fall into such trap, as
the user might had cd there to operate the changes.  The
correct sequence is

   pushd /tmp
   tripwire -m c -I

(assuming /tmp is not monitored.)

See also bug #353062

Tripwire creates a temporary file in the current directory
in order to run the check.  It should create it into /tmp.
