Subject: exim4-base: using install to set directory permissions ignores
dpkg-statoverride settings
Hi Andreas
I'm not filing this in the dbts as I don't have a sarge/sid box running
exim4-daemon-heavy but I believe the fault is the same for the 'official'
packages (the offending postinst looks pretty much the same)....
In order to allow a virus scanner that does not run as Debian-exim or as
root to access the spool files in the default /var/spool/exim4/scan I use
dpkg-statoverride to change the mode of /var/spool/exim4 to 751. The
problem is that when I upgrade exim4-base the mode is ignored and
'install' in exim4-base.postinst resets the mode to 750 so my virus
scanner stops operating. :-(
Since exiscan is a major feature of exim4-daemon-heavy, and users of
exiscan normally use virus scanners, this problem is going to cause pain
to a lot of people every time we have an exim update.
Apart from that - many thanks (again) for an excellent set of packages.
R.
PeteM

Changes:
exim4 (4.60-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Have exim4-base replace exim4-daemon-light and -heavy. This is a
needed corollary to the movement of the man pages to -base. Let's
hope that this change doesn't introduce too much breakage. Thanks
to Hamish Moffatt for making me take a closer look at policy.
(mh) Closes: #347908, #348067
* Introduce Makefile variable to build with OpenSSL instead of
GnuTLS. This is a last minute maneuver to help sites suffering from
the GnuTLS entropy issue (#338319, #343085) whose only other chance is
disabling TLS completely. Please note that building exim4-daemon-heavy
with OpenSSL is a GPL violation since OpenSSL's license clashes with
the MySQL client library, which is GPL licensed without OpenSSL
exception. (mh)
* re-pack configuration diffs. (mh) Closes: #331698
* Fix wrong variable substitution in lt (Lithuanian) debconf
translation. Thanks to Davide Viti and Gintautas Miliauskas. (mh)
Closes: #342242
* Fix typo in exim.8 man page. Thanks to A Costa. (mh) Closes: #338579
* Honor dpkg-statoverride entries for run-time data in /var.
Thanks to Peter Mottram. (mh) Closes: #269448
