Bug Description

Binary package hint: tiger

Ubuntu 9.04
Linux aardvark 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When installing tiger via synaptic, this message appeared:

Setting up tiger (1:3.2.2-8ubuntu2) ...
*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but
             the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
             script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf,
             and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to using
             old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!

             Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.

This bug was fixed in the package tiger - 1:3.2.2-11ubuntu1

---------------
tiger (1:3.2.2-11ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian/unstable, remaining changes: (LP: #378534)
    - scripts/check_rootdir: Check for inode 2 on ext4 as well as ext2/3.
    - debian/postrm:
      + Clean directories correctly when purging.
    - config.in:
      + Auto-create the work directory if it's in /var/run, /tmp, or /var/tmp.
      + Use temporary file instead of hardcoded rcfile for temporary work.
  * Launchpad bugs fixed:
    - Use --debconf-ok when calling ucf (LP: #378514)

tiger (1:3.2.2-11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Sort the system/Linux/2/inetd file since 'join' complains about it not being
    sorted when used in check_inetd (Closes: #524783)
  * Add symbolic links so users can create the issue and issue.net templates they
    want to check against when running check_issue in /etc/tiger/ (Closes: #511970)
  * scripts/find_files: Use patch provided by Khalid Shukri in order to complain
    from danging symlinks properly so that they can be tiger.ignore'd (Closes: 434333)
  * debian/debian.ignore:
     - Add an ignore message to remove the dangling symlinks that are udev-related
     - Add an ignore message for /dev/log since world-writable permissions for
       that file are standard in Debian (Closes: 417939)
  * initdefs: Change error message when a file value definition is empty
  * systems/Linux/2/check_umask: More extensive umask checks also covering different
    analysis for each one of the available shells in order to provide more meaningful
    information.
  * systems/Linux/2/check_rcumask: Remove shell login umask definitions from the file
    (both bash and csh/tcsh) since these do not apply to the script (i.e. are not
    init.d related) and add /etc/init.d/rc handling (Closes: 443807)
  * doc/misc.txt: Add new messages for new umask analysis covered in check_umask
  * doc/filesys.txt: Add a description of the new warning message introduced by the
    above patch.
  * doc/config.txt: Document that this happens also when the configuration system
    was not able to define a valid file and set a value for the file definition.
  * debian/rules: Adjust the permissions of /var/lib/tiger/work and /var/log/tiger/
    so that they are 0700. (Closes: #512078)
  * debian/preinst: Adjust the permissions of /var/lib/tiger/work and
    /var/log/tiger/ when upgrading so that they are set to 0700.
