Package: sympa Version: 6.0.1+dfsg-4+squeeze1 Severity: normal
First we installed sympa using the default configuration. Afterward we reconfigured the package following the configuration dialog and tried to setup a mysql database using tcp/ip. This failed because the address of the mysql server is not put into the db_host variable in /etc/sympa/sympa.conf. The postinst script of the sympa package uses $dbc_hostname, which appears not to be set anywhere (should use $dbc_server instead). To workaround the problem, we reconfigured the package injecting the $dbc_hostname variable manually: dbc_hostname="www.example.com" dpkg-reconfigure sympa -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6
