Package: roundcube
Version: 0.3.1-6
Severity: serious
Tags: squeeze

Hi there (Vincent or Romain),

If you set debconf to non-interactive, and then do:

apt-get install roundcube roundcube-sqlite

then the setup of roundcube fails, with roundcube-core staying not
configured. Of course, any package depending on roundcube will also
fail as a consequence (which is my case). The roundcube-core package
stays in this state until setting debconf in interactive mode and
answering the Debconf questions.

I believe that the default answer for the template:
roundcube-core roundcube/database-type

should be set to sqlite, as it doesn't require any answer to debconf
at all, as it is the default dependency that will be pulled (it has
priority over roundcube-mysql and roundcube-pgsql as it is ahead in
the dependencies of roundcube-core) and then the setup could continue
until end in the debconf non-interactive mode.

This bug repport has seriousness "Serious" as this is a grave
violation of the Debian policy which clearly mention that any package
should be able to be setup in non-interactive mode. Please keep this
seriousness (eg: don't lower this bug report seriousness: it really is
an RC bug, and it affects one of my package badly), and if possible
have the Squeeze package fixed through proposed-updates if possible
(this would of course have to be discussed with the release team).

Thanks for taking the time to package roundcube, me and many others
appreciate a lot to have it available in Debian,

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
