[Popcon-developers] Bug#240603: popularity-contest: Error messages shows up during cron.weekly task
Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.15
Severity: normal
/etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest:
Error: MY_HOSTID does not match ^([a-f0-9]{32})$
Please edit /etc/popularity-contest.conf to use a valid md5sum value
This showed up suddenly this week...while popcon runs on my system for ages...
My /etc/popularity-contest file:
# Config file for Debian's popularity-contest package.
#
# To change this file, remove it and use:
# dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest
#
# You can also edit it by hand, if you so choose.
# MAILTO specifies the address to e-mail statistics to each week.
#
#MAILTO="survey@popcon.debian.org"
# MY_HOSTID is a secret number that the popularity-contest receiver
# uses to keep track of your submissions. Whenever you send in a
# new entry, it overwrites the last one that had the same HOSTID.
#
# This key was generated automatically so you should normally just
# leave it alone.
#
MY_HOSTID="ad6650b9e6c995fc986328890bbb2e09 -"
# MAILFROM is the forged sender email address you want to use in
# email submitted to the popularity-contest. If this is commented
# out, no From: or Sender: lines will be added to the outgoing mail,
# and it will be your MTA's job to add them. This is usually what
# you want.
#
# If your MTA is misconfigured or impossible to configure correctly,
# and it always generates invalid From: and/or Sender: lines, you
# can force different results by setting MAILFROM here. This can
# cause problems with spam bouncers, so most people should leave it
# commented out.
#
#MAILFROM=root@nowhere.org
# PARTICIPATE can be one of "yes" or "no".
# If you don't want to participate in the contest, say "no"
# and we won't send messages.
#
# If this option is missing, the default is "no".
#
PARTICIPATE="yes"
