Package: slrn
Version: 0.9.8.1pl1-12
Severity: grave
Hi,
The config and postinst scripts do not check exit status of `head -1'
command, which fails when _POSIX2_VERSION environment variable is
set to 200112, causing the slrn installation scripts to replace
the contents of /etc/mailname file with one '\n' (newline) char:
vox:~# export LC_ALL=C
vox:~# ls -la /etc/mailname
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15 2005-10-18 20:30 /etc/mailname
[ Note, the file size is 15 ]
vox:~# env | grep POSIX
_POSIX2_VERSION=200112
vox:~# apt-get install --reinstall slrn
[ Let's remove standard apt-get stuff ]
Preconfiguring packages ...
head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `head --help' for more information.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1 Oct 18 20:31 /etc/mailname
[ And now the size is 1; the file contains only the '\n' char ]
Severity grave, because this bug causes data loss, and breaks unrelated
software, like postfix (see bug #322602).
Best Regards,
robert
