Subject: fails to upgrade from wheezy to jessie

Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:14:58 -0500

Package: monkeysphere
Version: 0.36-1
Severity: serious

I couldn't upgrade this package from wheezy to jessie, because of this
error:

Setting up monkeysphere (0.36-1) ...
gpg: can't open `/var/lib/monkeysphere/authentication/sphere/pubring.gpg'
gpg: keydb_get_keyblock failed: eof

dpkg: error processing package monkeysphere (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

That file is readable and doesn't seem corrupted:

root@marcos:~# file /var/lib/monkeysphere/authentication/sphere/pubring.gpg
/var/lib/monkeysphere/authentication/sphere/pubring.gpg: GPG key public ring

No idea what's going on here, i'll finish my jessie upgrade before
investigating further.

It seems that the given file is not writable by the monkeysphere user:

-rw------- 1 root root 682 juil. 19  2012 /var/lib/monkeysphere/authentication/sphere/pubring.gpg

I have no clue how this happened.

Changing the ownership of this back to monkeysphere:monkeysphere fixed
my bug.

Subject: cannot reproduce monkeysphere failing to upgrade from wheezy to jessie

Control: tags 737494 + unreproducible moreinfo
Control: severity 737494 normal

I just tried installing monkeysphere on a stock wheezy system, setting
up monkeysphere-authentication with an identity certifier.  then i
upgraded it to jessie, all without a problem.

I'm unable to reproduce the issue.  if no one else is able to reproduce
the issue, i'm not sure how to proceed with it.

anarcat, if you're unable to pinpoint how the permissions got changed on
the server in question, perhaps you can close this bug?  or if you can
reproduce it, i would be happy to know how.  Thanks for the initial
report.

Regards,

          --dkg

Perhaps we can close this for now. I'll certainly have more upgrades of
the sort to do in the coming years and we'll see soon enough if marcos
was smoking crack. ;)
