mass bug filing about packages manipulating/deleting shipped files
Hi,
another recent addition to piuparts is running debsums to see whether
shipped files are being incorrectly modified. This feature is in a
experimental stage and not available in the git repository, yet.
So far I have seen these problems:
* package modifies a conffile it ships
* package modifies a non-conffile it ships
* package deletes a (conf)file it ships
* (maybe all these bad things on files shipped by other packages, too,
but I didn't analyze the logs and packages in detail, yet)
and not only as a single occurrence :-(
What's the appropriate severity for these bugs? I would assume serious.
Modifying conffiles is forbidden by policy 10.7.3
I'm not sure about the other cases, but that should be forbidden as well.
Andreas
