Binary package hint: apparmor
This concerns apparmor 2.5-0ubuntu3 in Ubuntu Lucid beta1.
I am preseeding the debconf database of an Ubuntu install with a custom value for the apparmor/homedirs selection. When I then go to configure the package, however, the preseeded value is not given as the default answer, as expected---instead, the answer is blank.
# printf 'apparmor\tapparmor/homedirs\tstring\t/myhome/\n' | debconf-set-selections
# dpkg-reconfigure apparmor
What appears to be happening is that the debconf question takes the default value from /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/ubuntu (the file that is modified as a result of the question) instead of the debconf database. This behavior is at least questionable, and when a blank value overrides a preseeded debconf value, clearly incorrect. |
SRU Justification
1. impact of the bug is medium for stable releases, as not being able to preseed the home tunable is a longstanding bug that was intended to be fixed in Lucid.
2. This was first fixed in Maverick during its development cycle.
3. Patch is very small-- it simply removes a chunk of faulty logic from the preinst.
4. TEST CASE:
$ cat /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/ubuntu | grep '^@' # should return nothing
$ printf 'apparmor\tapparmor/homedirs\tstring\t/myhome/\n' | sudo debconf-set-selections
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p high apparmor
$ cat /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/ubuntu | grep '^@'
At this point '/myhome/' should be in /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/ubuntu, but it is not.
5. The regression potential of the patch is low, as it removes code from the apparmor preinst to fix a feature introduced in Lucid that never worked.
