Package: tightvncserver
Version: 1:1.3.10-6
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
[Please do not Cc: me, as I’m “on the list,” so to say, and
I try to reserve my inbox for private communication only.
I’d have set up Mail-Followup-To:, but there doesn’t seem
to be a way to make it point to the report being filed.]
Running the following command on a recent testing install
reveals a misnamed man1/Xvnc symlink:
$ find /usr/share/man -xdev -not -type d \
-regextype egrep -not -regex ".*/man([1-8])/[^/]*\\.\\1[a-z]*\\.gz" -ls
759686 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 15 2021
/usr/share/man/man1/Xvnc -> /etc/alternatives/Xvnc.1.gz
$
This is apparently due to how update-alternatives(1) is
invoked from .postinst:
16- update-alternatives --install \
17- $BIN/Xvnc Xvnc $BIN/Xtightvnc 70 \
18- --slave \
19: $MAN/Xvnc Xvnc.1.gz $MAN/Xtightvnc.1.gz
Compare with the invocation for the vncpasswd manual page:
20- update-alternatives --install \
21- $BIN/vncpasswd vncpasswd $BIN/tightvncpasswd 70 \
22- --slave \
23- $MAN/vncpasswd.1.gz vncpasswd.1.gz $MAN/tightvncpasswd.1.gz
AIUI, at least the former line in debian/tightvncserver.postinst
needs to be updated to use $MAN/Xvnc.1.gz in place of $MAN/Xvnc.
I don’t seem to see in update-alternatives(1) whether it will
automatically remove the older symlink upon the updated
--install call above. If not, I presume the symlink will need
to be removed in .postinst explicitly:
## This was a misnamed symlink created by older versions of the package
rm -f -- "$MAN"/Xvnc
Also while we’re at it, I’d like to suggest for all the variable
substitutions in the code to be quoted like "$MAN" above.
