OK... I suspected right... Looks like the patch I had provided for fix of 411983 was only partially applied.
in sympa.config, the following snippet is wrong : db_get sympa/use_soap use_soap="$RET" if [ "$use_soap" = "true" ]; then soap_url="http://${host}/sympasoap" if [ -f /etc/sympa/sympa.conf ]; then # Get the soap url from sympa.conf orig_soap_url=`perl -nle 'if (/^\s*soap_url\s+(\d)$/) {print $1;}' /etc/sympa/sympa.conf` if [ -z "$orig_soap_url" ]; then db_get sympa/soap_url orig_soap_url="$RET" else soap_url="$orig_soap_url"; fi db_set sympa/soap_url "$soap_url" db_input medium sympa/soap_url || [ $? -eq 30 ] db_go fi fi Actually, at first install's config time, there's no /etc/sympa/sympa.conf so the db_set sympa/soap_url "$soap_url" db_input medium sympa/soap_url || [ $? -eq 30 ] db_go is not done at all :( ... and later in the postinst, it won't do. So the "fi" should be moved up a little bit : db_get sympa/use_soap use_soap="$RET" if [ "$use_soap" = "true" ]; then soap_url="http://${host}/sympasoap" if [ -f /etc/sympa/sympa.conf ]; then # Get the soap url from sympa.conf orig_soap_url=`perl -nle 'if (/^\s*soap_url\s+(\d)$/) {print $1;}' /etc/sympa/sympa.conf` if [ -z "$orig_soap_url" ]; then db_get sympa/soap_url orig_soap_url="$RET" else soap_url="$orig_soap_url"; fi fi db_set sympa/soap_url "$soap_url" db_input medium sympa/soap_url || [ $? -eq 30 ] db_go fi Best regards. P.S.: next time, try and applying the patches provided instead of manual cherry picking ;) Le jeudi 20 septembre 2007 à 15:51 +0200, Olivier Berger a écrit : > Le jeudi 20 septembre 2007 à 15:19 +0200, Olivier Berger a écrit : > > > Error at line 166 : /etc/sympa/sympa.confLanguage::SetLang() > > Language::SetLang(), missing locale parameter > > mail::smtpto() Missing Return-Path in mail::smtpto() > > Configuration file /etc/sympa/sympa.conf has errors. > > Looks like soap_url was not configured the right way : > ## SOAP service URL > soap_url > > So...
