Just found this, because I also noticed the debsums error. A quick look in the changelog finds this: > procps (2:3.3.16-1ubuntu1) focal; urgency=low > [...] > * Dropped changes, no longer needed: > ... > - 10-link-restrictions.conf: this is redundant with link-protect.conf > from Debian. > * debian/procps.maintscript: handle migration of link-protect.conf from > /etc to /usr. > > -- Steve Langasek <steve.langa...@ubuntu.com> Thu, 13 Feb 2020 22:53:02 > -0800
But apparently that file never arrived downstream? Neither find /usr ... nor apt-file search can find it. Having had a look at the contents of said file by opening the .deb archive has me a bit worried: > # These settings eliminate an entire class of security vulnerability: > # time-of-check-time-of-use cross-privilege attacks using guessable > # filenames (generally seen as "/tmp file race" vulnerabilities). This could very well warrant a bump in severity, given there are security implications. A simple workaround is to just copy that file manually into /etc/sysctl.d under a different name, so postinst can't find it, should it try to murder it again. :P Of course it won't solve the debsums error but it solves the bigger problem of the file missing entirely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to procps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867537 Title: 10-link-restrictions.conf missing - removed by postinst Status in procps package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The file "10-link-restrictions.conf" is listed in DEBIAN/conffiles in the binary deb package, and the file is present/installed, but it is removed by the "postinst" script resulting in "debsums" flagging it as a missing config file: root@beluga:~# lsb_release -d Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch) root@beluga:~# apt policy procps procps: Installed: 2:3.3.16-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 2:3.3.16-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2:3.3.16-1ubuntu2 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status root@beluga:~# debsums -ac procps debsums: missing file /etc/sysctl.d/10-link-restrictions.conf (from procps package) This is not an issue in 18.04: manager@brigante:~$ lsb_release -d Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS manager@brigante:~$ apt policy procps procps: Installed: 2:3.3.12-3ubuntu1.2 Candidate: 2:3.3.12-3ubuntu1.2 Version table: *** 2:3.3.12-3ubuntu1.2 500 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:3.3.12-3ubuntu1.1 500 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages 2:3.3.12-3ubuntu1 500 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages manager@brigante:~$ debsums -ac procps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1867537/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
