Package: jabberd14 Version: 1.6.1.1-4 Severity: normal I had my jabber server configured to use a specific domain name, by the bad old method of editing /etc/jabber/jabber.xml and changeing a ton of lines. On upgrade, my server stopped working; clients just failed to connect to it with nothing logged by the server.
This is because /etc/default/jabberd14 has a HOSTNAME setting now, which overrode my local configuration. I'm happy that there is a saner way to do it, but silnetly breaking existing configurations on upgrade to introduce it is not good. Best fix would seem to be to read the hostname value out of the jabber.xml file. Or, if that is not practical, there should at least be a warning about it in the NEWS file. (The NEWS file does mention /dev/default/jabberd14, but in a news item from February. And IIRC the defaults file did not used to control the hostname.) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (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 jabberd14 depends on: ii adduser 3.111 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-5 GCC support library ii libidn11 1.15-2 GNU Libidn library, implementation ii libjabberd2 1.6.1.1-4 Runtime library for the Jabber/XMP ii libmysqlclient16 5.1.41-3 MySQL database client library ii libpopt0 1.15-1 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libpq5 8.4.2-1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libpth20 2.0.7-14 The GNU Portable Threads ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii openssl 0.9.8k-7 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a jabberd14 recommends no packages. jabberd14 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
