Question
Why am I getting error message via cron relating to apt-xapian-index? Does it provide a -backdoor- into my website?
My concern is that this is software that enables remote access to parts of my website. Possibly part of a plugin from WordPress. Here is the message mailed to me from my domain. I have a very uncomfortable feeling about it.
/etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index", line 108, in <module>
indexer.rebuild(opts.pkgfile)

self.buildIndex(dbdir, generator)

db = xapian.WritableDatabase(pathname, xapian.DB_CREATE_OR_OVERWRITE)

run-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index exited with return code 1
PS. Just because I am paranoid does NOT mean someone is trying to get me.
