Package: kolab-webadmin
Version: 0.4.0-20060810-4
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

In brief:  Still a bug in Etch (only).  A bugfix patch is attached.


I can reproduce bug 361000 [1] with kolab-webadmin 0.4.0-20060810-4.
I even went to the considerable trouble to track down the -5 version
(which has since disappeared from Etch and Lenny) to confirm that that
didn't fix the issue either.  Correcting the search path for a file
that doesn't exist anywhere on my system did not do the trick.

I assume the upstream CVS code was forked (or branched) for 2.x (1.x?)
development work, which should account for the fact that the current
(2.x) tree's oldest entry is dated 2005/12/30 and is significantly
newer than Debian's "upstream release" code dated 2006/08/10.

However, little of the code appears to have changed between Debian's
0.4 version and the 2.x CVS tree of kolab-webadmin [2].  This means
that I was able to solve this problem with that as a reference.

In this 2.x CVS tree, the entire block of code requiring this file was
disabled some time before the aforementioned code fork/branching (the
current CVS doesn't have dates beyond 2005/12/30, which already has
this code disabled).  The disabled code was completely removed for
2.2beta3.  It is therefore safe to disable or remove here as well.


I have attached a diff that will re-enable group account creation
through kolab-webadmin.  The comment is from the upstream authors, not
me (see the upstream CVS [3]).  Two notes on my patch:  it affects the
resulting user.php file rather than the upstream's user.php.in, so
line numbers may be off, and the CVS data on the patch refers to my
internal tracking rather than anything Debian/Kolab cares about.
