Package: debpool
Version: 0.2.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello,
I tried to set up today debpool, but I stubblled at step 4 because
debpool wouldn't start.
I followed the instructions point by point (although I found it weird
that there was a log directory, as suggested at point 3). I thought that
there willl be logs per distro or something similar and went on.
For example:
sudo mkdir /var/log/debpool
sudo chown debpool:debpool /var/log/debpool
sudo chmod a+rx /var/log/debpool
The error was:
twix:/var/www# sudo su - debpool /usr/bin/debpool
/usr/bin/debpool: line 37: use: command not found
/usr/bin/debpool: line 41: use: command not found
/usr/bin/debpool: line 42: use: command not found
/usr/bin/debpool: line 44: use: command not found
/usr/bin/debpool: line 48: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/bin/debpool: line 48: `use Getopt::Long qw(:config pass_through);'
twix:/var/www# sudo su - debpool

Couldn't write to log file '/var/log/debpool'. at
/usr/share/debpool/perl5/DebPool/Logging.pm line 158.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /var/log/ | grep pool
drwxr-xr-x 2 debpool debpool 4096 2007-01-23 15:53 debpool
At this point I realised that maybe /var/log/debpool should be a file,
not a directory.
So I went on and deleted the directory and created a file instead and
ran the owneship settting commands. Guess what, it worked :-).
So now the trivial patch would be to change the line
sudo mkdir /var/log/debpool
into
sudo touch /var/log/debpool
