Package: dbconfig-common Version: 2.0.11 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
When using bash as shell (dpkg-reconfigure dash -> answer no), the dbconfig-common package cannot create databases for packages like roundcube The problem only seems to occur when bash is in posix mode and is a version of 5+ (debian 10). debian 9 and lower do not seem to be affected. The installer fails with message like this: creating database roundcube: failed. error encountered creating database: mysql said: ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'roundcube' The problem seems to be that bash changed posix handling of environment variables passed to function calls. Patch is included here: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dbconfig-common/merge_requests/2 The comments to the mentioned merge request include a sample script to reproduce the behaviour. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dbconfig-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.71 ii ucf 3.0038+nmu1 dbconfig-common recommends no packages.
