Subject: debian-goodies: checkrestart issues dpkg error if /usr is a symlink
Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 19:04:56 +0100
Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.27
Severity: normal

Hi,

$ sudo checkrestart --verbose
Found 110 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct programs)
dpkg: /mnt/usr/usr/sbin/sshd not found.
(0 distinct packages)
$ ls -al /usr
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Sep 28 14:39 /usr -> mnt/usr/usr/
$ ls -al /mnt/usr/usr/sbin/sshd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 312K Dec 23 20:09 /mnt/usr/usr/sbin/sshd*
$ ls -al /usr/sbin/sshd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 312K Dec 23 20:09 /usr/sbin/sshd*
$ dpkg --search /usr/sbin/sshd
openssh-server: /usr/sbin/sshd
$ dpkg --search /mnt/usr/usr/sbin/sshd
dpkg: /mnt/usr/usr/sbin/sshd not found.
$

checkrestart should properly handle /usr being a symlink.

Greetings
Marc

Unfortunately, my dpkg errors upon invoking checkrestart haven't
changed. So, I am reopening this bug as it was not fixed, the original
report is still fully valid.

Marc

Hmm.. I thought it fixed, I will ask for debugging information as soon
as my working environment is up and running again (no permanent
Internet connection currently :(

Closes: 405040 466811 469133 471752 475397
Changes: 
 debian-goodies (0.42) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Updated to version 1.3 of debmany provided by Michael Arlt:
     - add bash_completion example into examples
     - add less to Depends, as it is the default viewer for other files.
     - add zenity to Suggests, it is a graphical alternative for dialog.
   * Fix popbugs to prevent it from removing temporary files before the browser
     has opened them, thanks to Chris Lamb for the bug report and the fix
     (Closes: #471752)
   * checkrestart:
     - Add /usr/lib/locale/ to the list of exceptions to prevent false
     positives when locales are reconfigured.
     - Change os.popen call to a subprocess.Popen call since python 2.5 does
     not seem to like lists in os.popen and because subprocess is preferable
     here.
     - Recode the utility so that the checks for deleted files and descriptors
     is not duplicated.
     - Remove the (useless) check for deleted descriptor
     - Rewrite the handling of lsof results to be more accurate and
     understandable.
     - Add a 'verbose' option that makes it list all the (supposedly) deleted
     files and descriptors used by the processes (Closes: #466811, #475397) -
     Add icon-theme.cache  to the list of deleted files that will be flagged
     (Closes: #469133)
     - Fix properly the handling of /usr as a symlink, the code had some stuff
       that was used as test case and should have been replaced before
       uploading, oops. (Closes: #405040)
    * Add myself to author list in debian/copyright, and fixed a lintian
      warning there too.
