Dear stable releas team,

this pre-upload request for the aide package is filed to ask for
guidance whether this package is suitable for bullseye-proposed-updates.
I have never done this before and am open for suggestions to improve and
for documentation pointers.

A fixed package has recently migrated to testing, the corresponding
bookworm request is #1037945.

[ Reason ]
This update fixes #1037436, a "just" important bug that causes incorrect
processing of extended attributes on symlinks that are monitored by
aide. This is a fix suggested by upstream (who is also a DD).

[ Impact ]
Without this fix, Aide will wrongly process extended attributes for
the file a symlink points to, which is not the intended behavior. The
fixed aide will process the extended attributes of a symlink.

[ Tests ]
This bug is sadly not covered by automated tests. I created a symlink
with extended attributes pointing to a file with different extended
attributes and verified that actually the extended attributes of the
symlink show up in the database.

[ Risks ]
Risks are that I goofed up in the fixes.

[ Checklist ]
  [X] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]

    Fix handling of extended attributes on symlinks

    Closes: #1037436

    This fixes wrong behavior regarding extended attributes on symlinks.
    Prior versions of aide would wrongly process the extended attributes
    of the file a symlink points to. This fix makes aide correctly process
    the extended attributes of the link itself, which is the intended
    behavior.

    The fix for extended attributes on symlinks might lead to reported
    changed entries during the next AIDE run. You can use the
    `report_ignore_changed_attrs` option (see aide.conf(5)) to ignore
    changes of the xattrs attribute; but be aware that this will not
    only exclude the expected changes (of the symlink files) but also
    the unexpected changes (of other files).

[ Other info ]
source debdiff attached. A binary debdiff will be delivered on request.

Please indicate whether this package might be a valid candidate to be in
the next bullseye point release.

Greetings
Marc
