[Pkg-citadel-devel] Bug#862296: Install hangs in postinst with error about c_Default_cal_zone

Wed May 10 19:53:17 UTC 2017

Package: citadel-server
Version: 902-3
Severity: grave

Hi,

On initial install, this package hangs in postinst, and spews several of these messages across
the console:

Broadcast message from systemd-journald at sid (Wed 2017-05-10 14:45:52 CDT):

citserver[12599]: configuration setting c_default_cal_zone is empty, but must not - check your config!

Broadcast message from systemd-journald at sid (Wed 2017-05-10 14:45:52 CDT):

citserver[12602]: configuration setting c_default_cal_zone is empty, but must not - check your config!

Ctrl-C will not address the issue; eventually I have to killall citserver and killall setup

I will attach a log of the install from script using the readline frontend.  Please note,
although you can't see it, I supplied a random 8-character password.

Configuring citadel-server
--------------------------

Please specify the IP address which the server should be listening to. If you specify 0.0.0.0, the server will listen on all 
addresses.

This can usually be left to the default unless multiple instances of Citadel are running on the same computer.

[4mListening address for the Citadel server: [24m[1m0.0.0.0
[0m[0m

Please choose the user authentication mode. By default Citadel will use its own internal user accounts database. If you choose
"Host", Citadel users will have accounts on the host system, authenticated via /etc/passwd or a PAM source. "LDAP" means an 
RFC 2307 compliant directory server; "Active Directory" means the nonstandard Microsoft Active Directory LDAP scheme.

Do not change this option unless you are sure it is required, since changing back requires a full reinstall of Citadel.

  1. Internal  2. Host  3. LDAP  4. Active Directory

[4mAuthentication method to use: [24m[1m1
[0m[0m

Please enter the name of the Citadel user account that should be granted administrative privileges once created. If using 
internal authentication this user account will be created if it does not exist. For external authentication this user account 
has to exist.

[4mCitadel administrator username: [24m[1madmin
[0m[0m

While not mandatory, it is highly recommended that you set a password for the administrator user.

[4mAdministrator password: [24m[1m[0m[0m

Please enter the same administrator password again to verify that you have typed it correctly.

[4mRe-enter password to verify: [24m[1m[0m[0m
