#925626 — Bug#912624: firehol: both 3.1.5+ds1-3 and 3.1.6+ds-1 broken for me

Package: firehol
Version: 3.1.5+ds1-2
Severity: important

3.1.5+ds1-2 is the (downgraded) version that works for me.

This is sysV init, _not_ systemd.
Both 3.1.5+ds1-3 and 3.1.6+ds-1 fail on upgrade.
Messages are:

	[FAIL] Restarting firewall: firehol failed!
	invoke-rc.d: initscript firehol, action "restart" failed.
	dpkg: error processing package firehol (--install):
	 installed firehol package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

I have no idea what's wrong, but I can see exit status is 4 from 
postinst, doing restart.  Restart is actually doing only start, no 
stop.  Even if I add do_stop before do_start to /etc/init.d/firehol, 
both do_stop and do_start fail:

	Restarting firewall: firehol+ log_daemon_msg_post Restarting firewall firehol
	+ :
	+ do_stop
	+ /usr/sbin/firehol stop
	+ return 1
	+ do_start
	+ [ YES = NO ]
	+ /usr/sbin/firehol start
	+ return 1

In my attempts to identify the problem, I've even seen:

	# /usr/sbin/firehol stop
	Cannot access /usr/lib/firehol/services.common
	# file /usr/sbin/firehol
	/usr/sbin/firehol: symbolic link to ../lib/firehol/firehol
	maximilian:~/maint# file /usr/lib/firehol/firehol
	/usr/lib/firehol/firehol: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines

#926050 — Bug#912624: firehol: Firehol fails to work after upgrade to 3.1.6

Package: firehol
Version: 3.1.6+ds-1
Followup-For: Bug #912624

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrade of firehol to 3.1.6 from the working 3.1.5, I now get:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 firehol
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Setting up firehol (3.1.6+ds-1) ...

I'd classify this is as a critical bug, since it prevents any set up/changes of a firewall.

(I tried to submit this with reportbug twice immediately after the upgrade, but my email appears not to have
been accepted by the reportbug system. :-( )

Hi Again,

it appears that I forgot to update the service file from the contrib upstrema folder.
I am on my way to correct it.
Sorry for the noise,

#926507 — Bug#912624: Firehol still not working in Debian Sid

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi,

I downloaded the 3.1.6 source distribution and copied
sbin/services.firehol to /usr/lib/firehol and things are now working.
Which is good as the SSH attackers found my unprotected server.
Hopefully order now restored.

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi,

I upgraded to 3.1.6+ds-4 this morning, and it appears to have installed
correctly and overwritten the file I hand installed. This would seem to
indicate this problem is now solved.

Thanks, for getting this repackaging done quickly, it is much
appreciated.
 
Russel.

Unfortunatelly, 3.1.6+ds-4 does not solve my problem.  Postinstall 
still failes.  But at the bottom of it all is this:

# /usr/sbin/firehol stop
                    ^^^^

I'm now back to 3.1.5+ds1-2, which works as expected.
What am I missing?

This is a Debian sid box with sysV init.

And I did realize shortly after sending the message bellow that I 
managed to overwrite the conf-files (both /etc/default/firehol and 
/etc/firehol/firehol.conf) in the process.

I'll continue investigation, though.

Repeating the upgrade process I found out that /etc/firehol/firehol.conf 
is _forcebly_ overwritten.  So, that's one bug:

	Installing new version of config file /etc/firehol/firehol.conf ...

I'm asked if I want to keep /etc/default/firehol, though.

The second bug is that the /usr/sbin/firehol has the ip*tables* paths 
hardcoded to /usr/sbin/, but most of those binaries are installed in 
/sbin/ (in the iptables package version I use; see bellow).  Why on 
earth would one hardcode program paths, when /etc/profile sets the 
PATH:

	# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
	# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).

	if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
	  PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
	else
	  PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"
	fi
	export PATH

and create lots of maintenance problems, I never understood :/  Is the 
PATH variable going away?

Creating these symlinks:

	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20 Nov 11 10:12 ip6tables -> ../../sbin/ip6tables
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   28 Nov 11 10:16 ip6tables-restore -> ../../sbin/ip6tables-restore
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   25 Nov 11 10:14 ip6tables-save -> ../../sbin/ip6tables-save
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   19 Nov 11 10:12 iptables -> ../../sbin/iptables
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   27 Nov 11 10:15 iptables-restore -> ../../sbin/iptables-restore
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 Nov 11 10:15 iptables-save -> ../../sbin/iptables-save

saved my day ;)

I'm staying with iptables:

	Installed: 1.6.2-1.1

as I do experience problems with:

	Candidate: 1.8.1-2

which _does_ install compatibility symlinks, the other way around.

	iptables (1.8.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium

	  * [5edbd6e] iptables: introduce /sbin compatibility symlinks (Closes: #911777)
