Package: imapproxy Version: 1.2.6-4 Severity: normal
dist-upgrade from etch to lenny did not work for this package. During upgrade imapproxy failed with: Setting up imapproxy (1.2.6-4) ... Starting IMAP proxy: invoke-rc.d: initscript imapproxy, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing imapproxy (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: imapproxy The new package overwrote the existing /etc/imapproxy.conf file and used the debconf setting for imapproxy/imap-server and replaced server_hostname with 'localhost'. There was no warning of this replacement. This resulted in the startup of imapproxy to fail and thus the packing installation. Corrected wth: dpkg-reconfigure -plow imapproxy to set imapproxy/imap-server to the remote server fqdn, and then: dpkg --configure --pending My debconf setting ignores questions with priority of 'high' or lower. Yes, I should change that. This is on a web server that hosts a webmail interface for the real mail server. There is no imap server running on the localhost. I suggest warning if the existing configuration file is overwritten and that imapproxy/imap-server have a higer debconf priority. This appears to be a duplicate of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505828 but as it was closed without any resolution, I'm submitting a new bug. It took me over two hours to find the solution in the closed bug report. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages imapproxy depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080830-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-14 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip imapproxy recommends no packages. imapproxy suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
