[Bug 1867537] Re: 10-link-restrictions.conf missing - removed by postinst

[Peter White]

Oh, I just found the file. It has a different name than suggested in the
changelog:

/usr/lib/sysctl.d/protect-links.conf

And silly me didn't of just checking what sysctl returns for those values set in there. It's all good:
$ sudo sysctl fs.protected_fifos
fs.protected_fifos = 1
$ sudo sysctl fs.protected_hardlinks
fs.protected_hardlinks = 1
$ sudo sysctl fs.protected_regular
fs.protected_regular = 2
$ sudo sysctl fs.protected_symlinks
fs.protected_symlinks = 1

So, from my POV the debsums error, while technically correct, is a non-
issue.

Title:
  10-link-restrictions.conf missing - removed by postinst

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The file "10-link-restrictions.conf" is listed in DEBIAN/conffiles in
  the binary deb package, and the file is present/installed, but it is
  removed by the "postinst" script resulting in "debsums" flagging it as
  a missing config file:
