thanks
Well, here is a patch for the immediate issue. I was unable to duplicate
the problem of the original reporter exactly; it looked to me like the
proxy configuration was always removed on purge. However, it wasn't
removed on reconfigure or on reinstall. This patch corrects that, as well
as getting the port number correct in /etc/environment.
However, the package still doesn't work as-is since the IP address that's
hard-coded into the init script, while running some service on port 3000,
doesn't appear to respond to this particular service in a way that this
program understands.
I'm also very leery of this sort of configuration... even apart from the
question of a Debian package that sends data to a given IP address not
under Debian control (that doesn't even have reverse DNS), is there really
a guarantee that that address will remain stable over the life of sarge?
It seems like there should be a debconf prompt for the next IP address in
the mix chain or something....
Anyway, that's probably a different bug. Here's the patch for this bug.
