description |
When running debsums on my system I noticed the following entry:
debsums: changed file /usr/share/nvidia-common/last_gfx_boot (from nvidia-common package)
I tracked it down to hybrid-detect changing that file at runtime. This is definitely wrong as nothing should ever write to /usr after package installation. I'd suggest moving this to /var/lib instead. |
[Impact]
hybrid-detect writes to /usr/share, which not be written to after package installation. hybrid-detect may fail to function properly if used on hybrid systems with read-only /usr partitions.
[Fix]
Write to /var/lib instead.
[Regression Potential]
Scope of possible regression is very limited; this only affects the hybrid-detect utility, which is only relevant on certain kinds of hybrid systems.
