Affected packages
• crates.io fixurjavainstall: < 0.8.1 → fixed in 0.8.1
Description
Impact
Affects: Anyone who generates the UNIX man pages in Fuji <= `0.8.0` build with the `dev` crate feature.
Consequences: `/usr/share/man/man8` may be entirely removed & re-created without any of the previous entries.
Patches
At the time of writing, no new version has been released on crates.io, due to an unrelated CI/CD publishing issue.
Due to the same unrelated publishing issue, no new GitHub Releases version has been released.
Workarounds
Do not run `fuji manual` on non-`dev` builds for versions <= `0.8.0`.
Additional Information
This bug results from development-only code being accidentally left in for release use.
Previous versions of Fuji are still "safe" to use, provided that you do not run `fuji manual`.
There is no malicious potential from this, it's just a major annoyance to accidentally remove all your sysadmin man pages.
