Package: php5-common
Version: 5.4.4-13
Severity: important

Hi,

This package generate a /etc/cron.d/php5 which returns the following error :

/bin/sh: 1: -delete: not found

Triple backslashs before the last semicolon of command should fix this error :

[...] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f
-ignore_readdir_race -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir
fuser -s {} 2>/dev/null \\\; -delete

Thx,

Jonathan.

Bash, and Debian's default cron (http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/cron).

I have the same and do not have any error with it.  There should be no
need for extra backslashes quoting that character.

The original message had the line abbreviated and word wrapped.  Is it
possible that the original file has a spurious newline in it that may
be hard to see?  Can you double check the contents of that file?  Your
editor may have done automatic word wrapping and inserted a newline
without your commanding it.

  $ wc -l /etc/cron.d/php5
  7 /etc/cron.d/php5

  $ grep php.*delete /etc/cron.d/php5 | wc -l
  1

thank you

Jonathan, I would suggest reinstalling php5-common, since the problem
you have described, is for 99% some problem of your local
installation, since you are the first use who had reported such issue,
and it is working for the rest (including me).

Reinstall php5-common with "dpkg --force-confmiss -i
php5-common_5.4.4-14_amd64.deb" fix the problem. Strange.

Thanks for your help !

Good to hear that it's fixed. Something must have corrupted your crontab
it seems.

Hi,

The problem persists. The crontab file (/etc/cron.d/php5) seems to be
rewritten at each server reboot (file timestamp = now - uptime).
Restarting PHP FPM using /etc/init.d/php5-fpm stop, start, or restart
doesn't override the file.

Surely then the problem must be that something on your system outside
of the php package is modifying the file.  Is your system running
cfengine, puppet, chef or other system configuration utility?  Perhaps
one of those is modifying the file.

Hi,

I still think that this is the problem of your local system. I would
suggest to try to reproduce it in clean installation.

I have restarted one of my kvm virtuals and nothing like this happens.

Before reboot:
root@jedi:/etc/cron.d# md5sum php5
021b1d7737f7de7957214993fde9adba  php5
root@jedi:/etc/cron.d# ls -ld php5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 565 úno 19 12:18 php5
root@jedi:/etc/cron.d# uptime
 09:05:29 up 209 days, 23:34,  1 user,  load average: 0,00, 0,00, 0,00

After reboot:
root@jedi:/etc/cron.d# md5sum php5
021b1d7737f7de7957214993fde9adba  php5
root@jedi:/etc/cron.d# ls -ld php5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 565 úno 19 12:18 php5
root@jedi:/etc/cron.d# uptime
 09:08:35 up 2 min,  1 user,  load average: 0,22, 0,17, 0,07

There's nothing in the php5 package which mangles the crontab.

Ondrej
