[php-maint] Bug#711055: Bug#711055: php5-common: unowned files after purge (policy 6.8, 10.8): /etc/php5/mods-available/{opcache, pdo}.ini

[Ondřej Surý]

reassign 711055 ucf
affects 711055 src:php5 grub-pc
severity 709567 important
forcemerge 709567 711055
thank you

The error:
Undefined subroutine &conffile::abs_path called at /usr/bin/ucfq line 529,
<HASH> line 3.

comes from this call:

ucfq -w /etc/php5/mods-available/<module>.ini

which I use in the postinst script to determine if my package still owns
the configfile (this is unfortunatelly needed to have php5-mysql and
php5-mysqlnd ship the module with same name).

The call fails and returns nothing.

Compared to wheezy ucf:

# ucfq -w /etc/php5/mods-available/pdo.ini
/etc/php5/mods-available/pdo.ini:php5-common:Yes:No

The unowned files in the system are just a side-effect of this bug (and
applies to all php5-<module> packages since they share the same code).

I would even say that this is a grave bug, since ucfq is unusable (or
mostly so), but I leave that to maintainer discretion.
