Package: sympa Version: 5.3.4-6.1 Severity: normal Seeding debconf to perform an unattended installation of sympa doesn't work because sympa.config ignores the debconf values for:
sympa/hostname sympa/listmaster wwsympa/wwsympa_url Some other values are honored, however (sympa/db_* for instance). I understand you are redoing the packaging in sid, but I figured I'd report this anyway, to help others who bump into the issue. Also, I'd like to urge you to keep in mind folks like me who do unattended installs. The current package forces me to seed debconf to benefit from file permissions set in the postinst and to avoid failure due to a missing database connection. But due to this bug, I still have to modify sympa.conf after installation, and restart the daemons. It's a bit messy. It'd be nice if a fresh, default, unattended install would succeed, but not start the daemons (so I can finish the configuration separately). -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (750, 'stable'), (70, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sympa depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy pn libarchive-zip-perl <none> (no description available) ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pn libcgi-fast-perl <none> (no description available) pn libcrypt-ciphersaber-pe <none> (no description available) ii libdbd-mysql-perl 4.007-1 A Perl5 database interface to the ii libdbd-pg-perl 2.8.7-1 Perl DBI driver for the PostgreSQL ii libdbi-perl 1.605-1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libfcgi-perl 0.67-2.1+b1 FastCGI Perl module pn libintl-perl <none> (no description available) ii libio-stringy-perl 2.110-4 Perl modules for IO from scalars a ii libmailtools-perl 2.03-1 Manipulate email in perl programs ii libmd5-perl 2.03-1 backwards-compatible wrapper for D ii libmime-perl 5.427-1 transitional dummy package ii libmime-tools-perl [lib 5.427-1 Perl5 modules for MIME-compliant m pn libmsgcat-perl <none> (no description available) ii libnet-ldap-perl 1:0.36-1 A Client interface to LDAP servers ii libtemplate-perl 2.19-1.1lenny1.1 template processing system written ii libxml-libxml-perl 1.66-1+b1 Perl module for using the GNOME li ii mhonarc 2.6.16-1 Mail to HTML converter ii perl [libmime-base64-pe 5.10.0-19lenny2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-suid 5.10.0-19lenny2 Runs setuid Perl scripts ii postfix [mail-transport 2.5.5-1.1 High-performance mail transport ag ii sysklogd [system-log-da 1.5-5 System Logging Daemon Versions of packages sympa recommends: ii doc-base 0.8.20 utilities to manage online documen ii logrotate 3.7.1-5 Log rotation utility Versions of packages sympa suggests: pn apache | apache-ssl | h <none> (no description available) pn libapache-mod-fastcgi <none> (no description available) pn mysql-server | postgres <none> (no description available) ii openssl 0.9.8g-15+lenny5 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
