Bug#5165: lpr removal problem
Package: lpr
Version: 5.9-11
After testing the exploit in the bugtraq advisory and finding the
vulnerability present I decided to purge lpr:
-root@chiark:~> dpkg --purge lpr
(Reading database ... 18977 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing lpr ...
dpkg - warning: while removing lpr, directory `/var/spool/lpd/lp' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing lpr, directory `/var/spool/lpd' not empty so not removed.
Purging configuration files for lpr ...
-root@chiark:~>
I think lpr should probably do something about this, perhaps offering
to remove jobs &c.
Ian.
