[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#611905: Install sympa version 6.1.4 on Lenny

[Stéphane Leclerc]

Package: sympa
Version: 6.1.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch



Hi!

I built the .deb using your debian package files on Lenny amd64.

- I first had a problem with architecture in debian/control

Architecture: i386 

I changed it to amd64.

- the debian/changelog is missing. I have to add it.

After that, the package well compiled.

But during installation (upgrade from 5.3.4), I got this and the install
stop on:

dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/sympa.conf
*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but
             the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
             script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf,
             and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to using
             old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!

             Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.

I also tried remove sympa 5.3.4 first before installing the sympa .deb.

This time, I got:

Paramétrage de sympa (6.1.4-1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/sympa.postinst: line 55:
/usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa_wizard.pl: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type

I stopped here. Many files are missing from /usr/lib/sympa and
/usr/share/lib.

If you have a new version of the debian files or a ready .deb to try, I'm
ready to try again and help. The Squeeze 6.0.1 version is full of bug and
not really useable.
