[Popcon-developers] Bug#764369: popularity-contest: Please use runuser instead of su to change user

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.61
Severity: normal

Hi,

With util-linux 2.25, a runuser command has been added which is more
suitable to change users when running from cronjobs.

runuser is not calling the pam_systemd pam module and thus not creating
a logind session like with su.

Could you please adjust /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest to call this
new command? You'll probably have to add a dependency against the new
util-linux package.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
