[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#983514: cockpit-ws: cockpit tries to write in /etc

[Nicolas George]

Package: cockpit-ws
Version: 238-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When trying for a read-only root filesystem, I am blocked by the fact
that cockpit tries to write in /etc at startup:

Feb 03 17:12:09 kruppe systemd[1]: Starting Cockpit Web Service...
Feb 03 17:12:09 kruppe remotectl[693]: remotectl: couldn't set certificate permissions: /etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/0-self-signed.cert: Read-only file system
Feb 03 17:12:09 kruppe systemd[1]: cockpit.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

The permissions of this file should be set once and for all when it is
generated, and not changed later. And in fact, they are already correct,
so this program should not try to write and fail.

Regards,
