Bug#541294: specter: Vanilla install segfaults
Package: specter
Version: 1.4-2+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
strace start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/specter -- -d --uid specter --gid specter
open("/etc/specter.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3119, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = 0xb7f8a000
read(3, "#\n# Sample configuration file fo"..., 4096) = 3119
_llseek(3, 0, [3119], SEEK_CUR) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Trial-and-error indicates that it does not seem to like "--gid specter"
(Yes, the group does exist):
# grep specter /etc/group
