Subject: bash: Please do not depend on passwd at all, bad in chroot etc.
Package: bash
Version: 3.0-5
Severity: normal
bash 2.05b-2-17 added a dependency on the passwd package for the
sole purpose of using add-shell and remove-shell to update
/etc/shells when installing or removing bash.
This has the unfortunate side-effect that it is no longer safe
to install or update bash in chroot jails (like those used for
building packaged for a different Debian dist, but others too)
and similar stripped down installs of Debian. The problem is
greatly increased by the fact that this is a versioned depends
and dpkg/apt does not allow for versioned Provides.
Also note, that in the few weeks that have passed since this
dependency was introduced, both the passwd package and packages
brought in by it (specifically login) have had security bugs of
their own. This emphasizes why an Essential package such as
bash should avoid unneeded dependencies and should not depend on
any package containing daemons or suid executables.
Close examination of the package contents indicates that a
sufficient fix would be to change postrm so the call to
remove-shell becomes conditional in the same way you already did
for add-shell. With that small change to the postrm script, the
dependency on passwd can be dropped completely.
Note: I currently have a large number of chroot jails tracking
different parts of unstable. About half of those are now stuck
at bash-2.05b-2-16 and it would be a real pain for this problem
to affect sarge jails on a permanent basis.
