** Description changed: + Stable update justification: + + Impact: Due to incorrect permissions on /var/cache/debconf/config.dat, the first upgrade using update-manager may fail. Other package management frontends that use aptdaemon may also fail on the first attempt. + Development branch: I've fixed this in ubiquity 2.7.11 in oneiric by adding the --config=Mode:0644 option to its debconf-copydb invocation. + Patch: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubiquity/revision/4769 + TEST CASE: See comment 17. Also check the permissions on /var/cache/debconf/config.dat; they should be 0644 (-rw-r--r--), but this bug caused them to be 0600 (-rw-------). + Regression potential: This change only affects new installations, not upgrades. Any problems should be exposed quickly as part of milestone release / point release testing. Although no point releases of 10.10 or 11.04 are planned, I'd like to upload this change there anyway to help out people building customised images. + + Original report follows: + Binary package hint: debconf Failed to report to debconf during first upgrade after installation of 9.10 beta.
