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).
How do I seed debconf in order to test whether this problem exists with
my Sympa 6.0 packaging (see http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sympa.git)?
