https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D226048 Bug ID: 226048 Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg: "pkg check --recompute" fails to exclude removed files Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: pkg@FreeBSD.org Reporter: raf@rafal.net Flags: maintainer-feedback?(pkg@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: pkg@FreeBSD.org Following installation of www/apache24 using pkg 1.10.3 on 11.1-RELEASE-p6,= I removed the unnecessary "default" web site that it creates in /usr/local/www/apache24, as its presence extends the security perimeter unnecessarily, and it fulfils no useful function, not to mention interfering with the way we manage /usr/local/www. This had the effect of throwing a lengthy, daily security run output from p= kg check. Example lines: Checking for packages with mismatched checksums: apache24-2.4.29: missing file /usr/local/www/apache24/cgi-bin/printenv apache24-2.4.29: missing file /usr/local/www/apache24/cgi-bin/test-cgi apache24-2.4.29: missing file /usr/local/www/apache24/error/HTTP_BAD_GATEWAY.html.var apache24-2.4.29: missing file /usr/local/www/apache24/error/HTTP_BAD_REQUEST.html.var ... Since the absence of those files is our intended, correct state, I run "pkg check --recompute" with sufficient privileges. To my surprise, the daily security output continues. Perhaps pkg check --recompute does not properly take care of removed files,= and perhaps only focuses on the changed ones. A workaround of disabling pkg che= ck from validating the checksums is rather extreme. Ideally, it should be poss= ible to somehow "reset" its database to assume that a given change, even if it includes removed files, is to be considered correct from that point onwards. FYI, although removing /usr/local/www/apache24 has been our practice for we= ll over a year, this output from pkg check only started showing up recently, I think since 11.1-p4 or so. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
