[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#522882: libssl0.9.8: /tmp is used to store a script that has to be executed

[Sébastien NOBILI]

Package: libssl0.9.8
Version: 0.9.8g-15+lenny1
Severity: normal

When upgrading libssl0.9.8 on my Lenny, I found the following message :
 Can't exec "/tmp/libssl0.9.8.config.77291": Permission non accordée at /usr/share/perl/5.10/IPC/Open3.pm line 168.
 open2: exec of /tmp/libssl0.9.8.config.77291 configure 0.9.8g-15 failed at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 59

/tmp is a tmpfs mount with noexec option.

I think some people use the same strategy and another way to handle this script should be found so that this it gets executed. I have no idea how this should be done to avoid this problem...
