Package: sympa
Version: 6.0.1+dfsg-4
Severity: important
Hello,
When installing, sympa prompts whether to use dbconfig-common or not.
If you select not to, the installation then fails, leaving the package
partially configured:
dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/sympa.conf
Creating config file /etc/dbconfig-common/sympa.conf with new version
Unknown database type .
dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
configured to not write apport reports

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure):

Looking at the postinst script, it looks like it's the following that's
causing the installation to fail:
name=$dbc_dbname
case "$dbc_dbtype" in
mysql)
type=mysql;;
pgsql)
type=Pg;;
sqlite*)
type=SQLite;
name="$dbc_basepath/$dbc_dbname";;
*)
echo "Unknown database type $dbc_dbtype.";
exit 1;;
esac
However, since I chose not to use dbconfig-common, I don't think that
this should be being called.
Trying to run dpkg --configure simply ends up with the postinst script
exiting, so it's impossible to get the package out of the 'partially
configured' state, hence the severity of 'important'.
Unfortunately, I'm not particularly familiar with postinst scripts, and
so haven't tried to provide a patch, but would it be possible/sensible
to test if dbconfig-install was set, and if not, skip the translation of
dbconfig-common parameters to sympa's configuration values?
Cheers,
Michael
