[pkg-horde] Bug#431207: horde3: won't work after re-install

Package: horde3
Severity: normal
Tags: moreinfo

Hi,

Please, when you have a bug, report it on bugs.debian.org with
all classical informations (severity, accurate versioni,
description...) and not in pkg-horde-hackers list (I forward this
bug for you on b.d.o).

Templates path is from registry.php horde file and the default
value in debian package is : '/usr/share/horde3/lib' . '/../templates'
Did you change this value?

We distribute registry.php file with this substitutions (to be
Debian policy compliant):

cat config/registry.php.dist | \
    sed -e "s/'fileroot' *=> *dirname(__FILE__)/'fileroot' => '\/usr\/share\/horde3\/lib'/"| \
    sed -e "s/'templates' *=> *dirname(__FILE__)/'templates' => '\/usr\/share\/horde3\/lib'/"| \
    sed -e "s/webroot *= * '\/horde';/webroot = '\/horde3';/"

Then, this substitutions are not the reasons of your errors.


At least, note I verify aptitude install horde3 && aptitude
reinstall and I don't see any problem with templates path.
