The problem was the handling of merge failures in three way merges, ucf used to just pass the error through to the maintainer script, and so a merge failure resulted in a maintainer script failure, which could cascade in a upgrade. However, trapping the error, and showing it via debconf, and then returning to the ucf debconf menu allows users to resolve this issue as they please. This patch implements that.

The previous fix said "reset diff question after use so contents are not written to disk". Unfortunately this is not enough (or even needed): the sensitive data is not stored in the value of ucf/show_diff, but in the DIFF variable associated with it. Bug fix: "ucf stores diff (of private files) in debconf (world readable)" Closes: Bug#511893 Author: Niko Tyni * [f5cbbdf]: Show the differences on the first try Until 3.0012, ucf/show_diff was reset just before showing it to the user. This would unset the 'seen' flag properly. However, moving the db_reset call after db_input made the latter skip the note on the first time if the 'seen' flag was already set. To make things worse, Debconf::ConfModule::finish() sets the 'seen' flag for all the questions it has handled before exiting, so the flag was always true after debconf exited. Simply unsetting the flag before db_input fixes this.

Way back when, it was told to me that we arte going to move to cdebconf, which at some point will be the preferred way. In the meantime, to facilitate the future transition, we should all depend on debconf | cdebconf to make life in the future easier. Now, as of version 3.005, ucf started using a feaure that has long been a part of cdebconf, but was only ported to debconf in version 1.5.19, so now ucf started depending on: debconf (>= 1.5.19) | cdebconf and this is where trouble beings. Suppose a machine running stable has cdebconf installed. It also has an old version of debconf installed, say, one that is older than 1.5.19. Since cdebconf was installed, the dependency requirements are fully satisfied, so debconf was not updated. Now, ucf follows the instructions in debconf-devel(7) -- and that just uses debconf, the older version which does nothave support for the feature ucf needs. Boom, there goes the update.

This fix handles exceptional sizes of diff output, correcting both issues. This is an important bug fix meant for Lenny. Closes: #486702, #490034 * The current Catalan translation of UCF has a few usability problems, namely the same translation for all 3 different diff options. The result is that you are presented with the same option twice in many cases, and can't tell the difference between them. This i18n update fixes that issue.

Applied the patch provided in the report. Closes: #460868 * Of course, this did not mean that the modified column was actually filled with valid values: A number of places we were not using the proper accessor methods, which added to the confusion. Fixed. Closes: #464238 * Add a new --debconf-template option to specify an alternate caller-provided debconf template for the user prompt. Heavy lifting done by Steve Langasek. This was apparently done to allow grub in Ubuntu to manage partial file fragments. Closes: #456241. * Use db_x_loadtemplatefile instead of debconf-loadtemplates for template loading, and depend on debconf (>= 1.5.19) | cdebconf for the implementation. Thanks to Steve Langasek. Closes: #424926 * Drop the Recommends: debconf-utils now that it's no longer used. * Instead of proceeding merrily on our way if the three way merge fails, we now leave the dest file unchanged, leave the mess in the new file (foo.ucf-new), tell the user about it, and abort the upgrade by exiting with exit 3. We still psit out an error about conflicts. Hopefully, this adequately resolves the bug.

Frans Pop suggested using the Choices-C feature of debconf, which is relatively new, but defines a fixed alias for each option which Debconf will then use in db_get and db_set operations -- so no more matching the template in the code. He also kindly provided a working patch. Updated versioned dependency on debconf to reflect the need for a new version.

Users using a Graphical frontend are surprised when the display apparently just blocks when they ask to see a diff (or 3-way diff) of the configuration file being handled, when actually the diff is displayed on the terminal window ucf was run on. Until the debconf-escape utility and the escape CAPB support, db_subst ran into newline and line length issues. Patch from Michael Vogt.

The package registry is documented in a manual page. Any enhancements to the manual page would be gratefully accepted. The ucf manual page now has a reference to ucfr and ucfq. I d not think, however, that this merits a NEWS file: the vast majority of users who install ucf do so since it is pulled in as a dependency, and they don't care a white about ucfr being added. The only people who might care are people who use ucf to manage configuration files, and that is a very small number.

Touch wood. -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 2 Apr 2004 02:10:48 -0600 ucf (0.33) unstable; urgency=low * Bug fix: "ucf: Variable errors in ucf script breaks lm-sensors installation", thanks to Frédéric Bothamy (Closes: #237944). * Bug fix: "apache-common: /etc/apache/modules.conf is not modified", thanks to Oliver Zimmermann (Closes: #237946). -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 14 Mar 2004 11:14:21 -0600 ucf (0.32) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed debconf handling -- POTFILES.in needs t9o have the master template, not the generated one. -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 13 Mar 2004 12:22:11 -0600 ucf (0.31) unstable; urgency=low * Moved to the new debconf mechanism is skeleton-make-rules, which shall allow ucf to be backported to older debconf versions. * Bug fix: "ucf: Please add the attached Brazilian Portuguese debconf template translation", thanks to Andre Luis Lopes (Closes: #235489). * Bug fix: "ucf: French debconf templates translation", thanks to Eric (Closes: #236715). * Bug fix: "ucf: Option --debug exists only in manpage, but is not recognized", thanks to Frank KKüster (Closes: #237114). * Bug fix: "ucf: please consider adding symlink support", thanks to Marc Haber. Actually, Fabio Massimo Di Nitto did the heavy lifting on this one and sent in a tested, working patch. (Closes: #213080). -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 12 Mar 2004 14:48:31 -0600 ucf (0.30) unstable; urgency=low * Convert to po-debconf, also thanks to Joey Hess. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 22 Feb 2004 15:22:29 -0600 ucf (0.29) unstable; urgency=low * Thanks to Joey Hess for noticing that the debconf support in ucf was not complete. Added the template to the control archive, source the confmodule in postinst, and purge debconf db on purge. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 22 Feb 2004 09:49:20 -0600 ucf (0.28) unstable; urgency=low Joey Hess * Added debconf support to ucf. It will use debconf for prompting. * Since some badly behaved maintainer scripts use debconf, then cripple it (by calling STOP, redirecting stdio, etc), and then call ucf, ucf must take care to not use debconf if called from such a script. In this case it will fall back to prompting without using debconf, unless a --debconf-ok parameter is given, to let ucf know that the maintainer script promises it has not screwed up debconf. * Update ucf.1 * Since the above hack means that ucf retains the ability to prompt on its own, I made it not depend on debconf at all; if debconf is not present then ucf will fall back to its internal prompter. closes: Bug#234151 Manoj: * Changed the rules file to handle permissions better in face of strange umasks. Many thanks to Joey Hess, who essentially did all the work for this update in functionality. -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 21 Feb 2004 23:35:01 -0600 ucf (0.27) unstable; urgency=low * Bug fix: "minor typo in /etc/ucf.conf comment", thanks to Leonardo Rochael Almeida (Closes: #225633). -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 6 Feb 2004 01:53:24 -0600 ucf (0.26) unstable; urgency=low * When ucf replaces a configuration file, it always leaves the old version behind as "conffile.dpkg-old", and then installed the "distributed" file as "conffile", just *like dpkg* does. Now, also made it so that when ucf asks the user a question, and they respond by opting not to replace the configuration file, ucf creates "conffile.dpkg-dist", as dpkg would have created. -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 13 Nov 2003 03:02:32 -0600 ucf (0.25) unstable; urgency=low * when the old md5sum is not found in the file, the return value of the grep is non-zero and the program exits. closes: Bug#216115 -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 18 Oct 2003 21:31:28 -0500 ucf (0.24) unstable; urgency=low * Fix a series of typos that prevented old md5sums from working. Thanks to Josselin Mouette for the patch. closes: Bug#215244 -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 15 Oct 2003 13:53:50 -0500 ucf (0.23) unstable; urgency=low * Fix a corner case when ucf is reinstalled after being removed, but not purged, for a while, in this case all the data is out of date. Rotating the dataset would have ucf asking questions all over, but that is better than silently ignoring files of packages that were purged while ucf was removed, and are being reinstalled. Correct behaviour trumps the user being asked questions again. closes: Bug#215077 -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 10 Oct 2003 12:44:19 -0500 ucf (0.22) unstable; urgency=low * .TT in the man page did not produce tt font.

Major breakage in ucf on upgrade; one loses /var/lib/ucf/hashfile, due to a major thinko. The downside is that the currently installed file shall be trated as the old version, and a wquestion shall be asked if the upstream file is different. This bad, but there is no real data loss; only a potential question asked on the next upgrade of packages using ucf. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 10 Nov 2002 23:09:22 -0600 ucf (0.09) unstable; urgency=low * Umm. use egrep when you mean egrep. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 10 Nov 2002 22:57:57 -0600 ucf (0.08) unstable; urgency=high * Add a --purge option to ucf, to remove all hints about a configuration file from the hashfile. This fixes what happened if a package was purged, and reinstalled -- on purge the configuration file was removed, but it was still in ucf's database. On reinstall, since the upstream file had not changed, ucf did not copy it to the destination -- even though the destination file no longer existed. This is a major bugfix. closes: Bug#159015 * Fix use of md5sum files, and manpage typo, thanks to a patch from Henrique de Moraes Holschuh . closes: Bug#163229 * ucf now has a rudimentary, experimental, and undocumented diff3 capability. So, optionally, people can see a diff3 diff between the current file, the old file, and the new upstream version. Also, they can have the changes made in the upstream versions merged into the current file. This can be dangerous. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 10 Nov 2002 21:22:00 -0600 ucf (0.07) unstable; urgency=low * Fix a few missing grep trigger set -e failures. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 6 Mar 2002 01:14:57 -0600 ucf (0.06) unstable; urgency=high * Added the ionformational script lcf and the associated man page. * Fixed a major thinko in ucf that could potentially trash the hashfile -- Manoj Srivastava Tue, 26 Feb 2002 14:30:59 -0600 ucf (0.05) unstable; urgency=low * /etc/ucf.conf and ucf.conf(5) disagreed due to a typo in the man page. Fixed. closes: Bug#135691 * Added the ability for the developer to specify a single file with historical md5sums, instead of having to ship a directory populated with single line files for every configuration file in the package.
