Package: gforge
Version: 4.5.14-22
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hello, 

these are actually few bug reports. I was installing on a virtual
machine, so I was kind-of lucky that it didn't break.

1) gforge-web-apache did not have a dependancy on libapache-mod-ssl, so
the installation hung when installing SSL.
2) gforge-web-apache did not generate the key, nor did use any existing
one. It should provide at least a default key (I saw snakeoil certificate
or something like that somewhere). If someone wants a custom key, he/she 
can easily install it; however, for most "newbies" even finding a 
"default" key they can use is beyond abilities. This bug breaks not only 
apache, but even the gforge package installation has broken since the 
apache failed to restart, and it returned an error.
3) For some reason, shell authentication via pgsql failed to connect to
database with the users that were generated. I tried to inspect it, but
I do not know much about postgresql so I failed to find the problem.

Just a comment to the maintainer:
It is my opinion that you have done a great job with patching up the
packages! GForge is truly a very complex piece of software. I saw that
you said you've installed on a blank machine already. In case you're not
doing it this way, you may want to just install a base system, and then
install gforge -- nothing else! When it manages to work without
configuring any other piece of software, then you've managed to reach
the level of quality that most of us expect from Debian.
