--- Begin Message ---Package: wims-common Version: 3.28-6.1 Severity: serious Justification: violates a "must" in policy When testing wims-common with piuparts, I see several problems. To begin with, it assumes that the "wims" user and group exists and is dedicated for its use, yet does not even try to create the user. The piuparts log file snippet: 0m14.8s DUMP: Setting up wims-common (3.28-6.1) ... 0m14.8s DUMP: chown: `wims.wims': invalid user Further, the postinst script does not notice this failure and continues as if everything was correct. This is in violation of Debian Policy, 3.10. Maintainer scripts, which says (in part): "Errors which occur during the execution of an installation script must be checked and the installation must not continue after an error." Finally, after the package is purged, the package leaves files behind on the system: 0m16.7s ERROR: Package purging left files on system: /usr/lib/wims /usr/lib/wims/public_html /usr/lib/wims/public_html/bases /usr/lib/wims/public_html/gifs /usr/lib/wims/public_html/html /usr/lib/wims/public_html/images /usr/lib/wims/public_html/java /usr/lib/wims/public_html/mathfonts /usr/lib/wims/public_html/modules /usr/lib/wims/public_html/msg /usr/lib/wims/public_html/scripts /usr/lib/wims/public_html/sessions /usr/lib/wims/public_html/units /var/lib/wims owned by: wims-common /var/lib/wims/bases This is "just cruft", but still shouldn't happen. -- Just GNU it!

Closes: #344100 . wims (3.55-5) unstable; urgency=low . * modified postinst: the fonts are now generated by the user wims, added postrm : /var/lib/wims is cleaned when purging wims. Closes: #338253 * added Conficts and Replaces clauses in order to get rid of obsolete wims-3.28 packages . wims (3.55-4) unstable; urgency=low . * tidied up many details, thanks to Raphael Hertzog's hints: * simplified postinst (the keywords "function" are optional with bash) * deleted some files or dirs which seemed to be useless . wims (3.55-3) unstable; urgency=low . * modified the package so it has the same behavior as the previously published one : the present source package outputs binary packages flydraw and texgd. . wims (3.55-2) unstable; urgency=low . * made modifications to pass pbuilder's test: added "Build-Depends: tetex-bin", replaced "rsync -a" by "cp -Rd" * added the usage of po-debconf . wims (3.55-1) unstable; urgency=low . * Updated to last upstream version * Packaged it again from scratch because of many upstream changes and because it was really needed anyway. Closes: #221724 since libgd2 is linked and dependencies are OK. Closes: #297888 since the upstream source was fixed. Closes: #208815 as the configuration script is pretty new. Closes: #215909 as there is no more libwims package. Closes: #240566 there is no more Recommends clause. Closes: #214991 as the wims user is created before the installation begins.
