Subject: installation hangs indefinitely

Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:30:23 +0100

Package: aide-common
Version: 0.16~a2.git20130520-1
Severity: grave

Hi,

In order to make sure that the bug #641810 has indeed been fixed, I
removed '/etc/aide' directory and all its content as 'aide-common' does
not clean up after itself on 'purge'.

This has already been reported nearly a year ago in a bug #683877, to
which the error message below, seems to be related to. The latter bug
needs its severity increased to 'important' at the very least, BTW, as
it prevent one from fully reinstalling the package in question.

After dozens of:

Not replacing deleted config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/...

Package installation hangs indefinitely after:

/etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_apt: line 3: /etc/aide/aide.settings.d/10_aide_sourceslist: No such file or directory

Processes which are running and are related to the package:

The fix was quite simple:

% cd /usr/share/aide/config/aide && \
for i in aide.conf aide.conf.d/* aide.settings.d/* ; \
do sudo ucf --purge /etc/aide/$i ; done

It is, however, unacceptable as a solution to both #683877 and, in turn,
this bug.

In order to resolve this one, bug #683877 needs to be fixed first.

Thank you for your work on AIDE packages.

Kind regards,

Raf

P.S. What is the benefit of having all the configuration under
'/usr/share/aide/config/aide' and then all of it copied *again* to
'/etc/aide'? Wouldn't it be easier to install all of the files directly
to '/etc/aide' in the first place?

This is caused by a grave bug in the ucf package (#709567 [0]).

Bug #683877 has a workaround how to fully reinstall the package.

This is caused by line 23 of 31_aide_apt. Due to the missing
10_aide_sourceslist file the 'cat' command is called without an argument and
therefore waits for input. I fixed that in git (0c9ca6e [1]).

This is how ucf works (see the man page of ucf(1) for more details).

Best regards
