Bug#486585: adduser/homedir-permission isn''t set the first time running debconf
Package: adduser Version: 3.108 Severity: minor Hi I''m not totally sure about this, but I think the following happened several times for me: 1. I''ve installed plain etch. 2. dist-upgraded to sid 3. debconf asked me for adduser whether I want system wide readable home-dirs, and I choose no 4. I do a dpkg-reconfigure adduser,... yes is selected 5. When I select no now, subsequent invokations of dpkg-reconfigure show the correct value. Is this possible?! ;) Chris. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, ''unstable'') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.1.1-2 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.10.0-10 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis adduser recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * adduser/homedir-permission: false _______________________________________________ Adduser-devel mailing list Adduser-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/adduser-devel

The scripts to do the debconf config _look_ correct to me. I have seen this sort of thing before with debconf, but it has usually turned out to be a UI issue - someone thought they had made a relevant key press and hadn''t, that sort of thing. If you have any suggestions where to look, I''m happy to, but I have low hopes of changing any code at this point.

Is it still reproducible in current versions of Debian? Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don''t trust Computers.
