Subject: cucipop: preinst remounts /usr without need
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.7
Package: cucipop
Version: 1.31-7
The preinst says
if [ "$(mount | grep 'on /usr' | grep ro)" != "" ]
then
echo "Remounting the /usr filesystem read-write (forgetful, aren't we?)"
mount -o remount,rw /usr
fi
I don't understand why it does this (surely unpacking the .deb would
fail if /usr were read-only, and it is not each individual package's
responsibility to handle this situation), but at the least it should
get it right. This code was tripped here because mount says
/dev/hdc1 on /usr type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
and the code mistook the remount-ro. If the code must stay, please at
least fix it up, perhaps like
mount | awk '$3 == "/usr" && $6 ~ /^\(ro,/'
or
mount | perl -wane '$ok = 1 if $F[2] eq "/usr" && $F[5] =~ /^\(rw[,)]/;
END { $? = 1 unless $ok }'
