Package: libpam0g
Version: 1.3.1-2
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
Dear Maintainer,
my X session was just killed during update, I could capture the
output because aptitude was running inside tmux:
Unpacking libpam0g:amd64 (1.3.1-2) over (1.1.8-4) ...
Setting up libpam0g:amd64 (1.3.1-2) ...
Checking for services that may need to be restarted...Checking init scripts...
WARNING: init script for samba not found.
Restarting services possibly affected by the upgrade:
xdm: stopping...starting...done.
exim4: stopping...starting...done.
cups: stopping...starting...done.
cron: stopping...starting...done.
atd: stopping...starting...done.
Services restarted successfully.
I think the cause is a bug in postinst script which checks for X:
if ! who | awk '{print $2}'|grep -q ':[0-9]'; then
check="$check wdm xdm"
fi
However, the output format of "who" (GNU coreutils 8.30) is:
js console Feb 13 15:54 (:0)
js pts/1 Jan 11 16:00 (tmux(2459).%0)
js pts/2 Jan 11 16:00 (tmux(2459).%1)
js pts/3 Jan 11 16:00 (tmux(2459).%2)
js pts/4 Jan 11 16:00 (tmux(2459).%3)
js pts/5 Feb 13 15:56 (:0)
...
Incidentally debconf also failed to display any UI before
restarting services, not sure why.
Regards,
Johannes
