When installing sympa with a postgresql database and using dbconfig-common to configure the database, I get the following error:
apache2: installation seems OK ... Reloading web server config: apache2err SQLSource::connect() No Database Driver installed for Pg ; you should download and install DBD::Pg from CPAN err List::check_db_connect() Failed to connect to database err SQLSource::create_db() Cannot create Pg DB
Which package(s) do I need to add manually to be able to install sympa?
You should install libdbd-pg-perl, which is the Debian package providing DBD::Pg.
In principle sympa already provides this dependency, but only as a fallback for libdbd-mysql-perl which is not ideal.
I suggest we keep this bugreport open (but maybe lower the severity) until we offer a more reliable grouping of database-related dependencies.
Concrete idea of approach:* provide metapackages sympa-mysql, sympa-postgres etc. which each depend on the needed DBD::* package and recommends the possibly-remote database daemons. * have sympa depend on either of those metapackages instead of directly on either of the libs + daemons
What do others feel about this?Do you imagine that would have helped you at your level of expertise in juggling with packages, Felix?
