[Pkg-bareos-devel] Bug#884231: bareos-storage-tape: Bug 808580 exists in jessie (Package tries to chown unexisting /etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/device-tape-with-autoloader.conf)

[Anthony DeRobertis]

Package: bareos-storage-tape
Version: 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u3
Severity: important
Justification: Policy 10.7.3

# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up bareos-storage-tape (14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u3) ...
chown: cannot access ‘/etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/device-tape-with-autoloader.conf’: No such file or directory

This is of course #808580 which has been fixed in newer versions (and 
wasn't reported against the version in jessie). Opening a separate bugs 
since that one is already archived; my apologies if you preferred I 
un-archive and re-open that one instead.

Easy enough to work around on my system by adding an "|| true" to the 
chown line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/bareos-storage-tape.postinst, but this 
seems like something eligible for a (old-)stable update. And quite 
possible it'll break other people's systems too.
