Package: sympa Version: 5.3.4-5.2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I upgraded from etch to lenny, and installation failed on this package. It appears the installer tried to reinstall the database (even though it was upgrading). I'm wondering if this is a widespread problem or just some quirk about how I'm setting it up. After installation failed, sympa failed on launch, and send an e-mail to the listmaster: error : data structure was not updated ; you should run sympa.pl --upgrade to run the upgrade process. After I run sympa --upgrade, the service appears to run correctly, although I have not thoroughly investigated. It looks like there's a debian specific upgrade routine that's outdated -- is this necessary when it appears sympa has upgrading routines built in? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sympa depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4-daemon-heavy [mail-tra 4.69-6 Exim MTA (v4) daemon with extended ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.18-1 Module for manipulation of ZIP arc ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcgi-fast-perl 5.10.0-13 CGI::Fast Perl module ii libcrypt-ciphersaber-perl 0.61-4 Perl module implementing CipherSab ii libdbd-mysql-perl 4.007-1 A Perl5 database interface to the ii libdbi-perl 1.605-1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libintl-perl 1.16-4 Uniforum message translations syst ii libio-stringy-perl 2.110-4 Perl modules for IO from scalars a ii libmailtools-perl 2.03-1 Manipulate email in perl programs ii libmd5-perl 2.03-1 backwards-compatible wrapper for D ii libmime-charset-perl 1.006.2-2 Charset Informations for MIME ii libmime-encwords-perl 1.010.101-1 deal with RFC-1522 encoded words ii libmime-perl 5.427-1 transitional dummy package ii libmime-tools-perl [libmime- 5.427-1 Perl5 modules for MIME-compliant m ii libmsgcat-perl 1.03-4+b1 Locale::Msgcat perl module ii libnet-ldap-perl 1:0.36-1 A Client interface to LDAP servers ii libtemplate-perl 2.19-1+b1 template processing system written ii libxml-libxml-perl 1.66-1+b1 Perl module for using the GNOME li ii lsb-base 3.2-19 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mhonarc 2.6.16-1 Mail to HTML converter ii perl [libmime-base64-perl] 5.10.0-13 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-suid 5.10.0-13 Runs setuid Perl scripts ii sysklogd [system-log-daemon] 1.5-5 System Logging Daemon Versions of packages sympa recommends: ii doc-base 0.8.16 utilities to manage online documen ii logrotate 3.7.1-3 Log rotation utility Versions of packages sympa suggests: ii apache [httpd-cgi] 1.3.34-4.1+etch1 versatile, high-performance HTTP s ii apache2 2.2.9-7 Apache HTTP Server metapackage ii apache2-mpm-prefork [ht 2.2.9-7 Apache HTTP Server - traditional n ii libapache2-mod-fcgid 1:2.2-1 an alternative module compat with pn libsoap-lite-perl <none> (no description available) ii mysql-server 5.0.51a-12 MySQL database server (metapackage ii mysql-server-5.0 [mysql 5.0.51a-12 MySQL database server binaries ii openssl 0.9.8g-13 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a -- debconf information: * sympa/db_passwd: (password omitted) sympa/key_password_again: (password omitted) * sympa/db_passwd_again: (password omitted) sympa/key_password: (password omitted) * sympa/db_adminpasswd: (password omitted) wwsympa/webserver_type: Apache 2 sympa/listmaster: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wwsympa/wwsympa_url: wwsympa/webserver_restart: true sympa/hostname: assembly.cornell.edu sympa/db_options: sympa/soap_url: sympa/wwsympa_configured: false sympa/db_name: sympa * sympa/db_type: MySQL sympa/db_configured: false sympa/soap_configured: false * sympa/db_hostname: localhost sympa/language: en_US sympa/use_db: true sympa/db_removeonpurge: false sympa/use_soap: false wwsympa/remove_spool: false sympa/db_user: sympa wwsympa/fastcgi: false sympa/use_wwsympa: false sympa/db_authtype: Ident-based sympa/db_port: sympa/remove_spool: false sympa/smime_support: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
