Bug Description

Binary package hint: email-reminder

Due to a bug in the packaging (postinst script), the permissions on the config file were not set correctly and hence the app would always use the default values.

This makes the package unusable for anyone who has a different mail setup: it silently fails to send emails.

I uploaded a new version in Debian unstable which fixes this problem. Please consider syncing with the Debian version (which only has this change), otherwise this package will be mostly unusable in this LTS release.

Changed in email-reminder:
