[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#514223: gridengine-exec: can't dpkg-reconfigure the gridenginecell value

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gridengine-exec
Version: 6.2-4
Severity: normal


Hi,

in my gridengine setup the cell name is something else than 'default', but
    dpkg-reconfigure -plow gridengine-exec
does not offer to change the cell name, making it actually impossible to 
change anything (also changing the master host while keeping the initially set
cell name does not work).
The only way I found to 'fix' the gridengine configuration after mistyping
either the cell or master name on an exec host was to purge and reinstall
all gridengine packages.

(Preseeding the settings into debconf before installing gridengine works fine
for making this noninteractive.)
