Package: debian-edu-config
Version: 2.10.65+deb10u6
Severity: normal
There is an issue with how three Debian Edu packages interact. It
involves debian-edu-config, sitesummary and shutdown-at-night.
After setting up outgoing emails on my laptop, where debian-edu-config
and shutdown-at-night, but not sitesummary, is installed, I started
getting cron emails like this:
Subject: Cron <root@minerva> test -x /usr/lib/shutdown-at-night/wakeupclients
&& /usr/lib/shutdown-at-night/wakeupclients
Can't locate SiteSummary.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
SiteSummary module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28.1
/usr/local/share/perl/5.28.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28
/usr/share/perl/5.28 /usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at
/etc/shutdown-at-night/clients-generator line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/etc/shutdown-at-night/clients-generator line 7.
The cause seem to be that the cron job from shutdown-at-night
(/etc/cron.d/shutdown-at-night) calls the
/etc/shutdown-at-night/clients-generator script from debian-edu-config,
which fail to work when SiteSummary.pm from the sitesummary package is
not available.
I suspect some dependencies need to be adjusted to ensure the perl
module is available when needed, or the script need to cope with the
missing module in a better way.
