Hello Lucas, There was a missing dependency on virtual-mysql-client. When trying to run piuparts on the fixed package i encountered this error:
[..] Setting up simba (0.8.4-2) ... dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/simba.conf Creating config file /etc/dbconfig-common/simba.conf with new version Creating config file /etc/simba/simba-db.cfg with new version error encountered creating user: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) dbconfig-common: simba configure: aborted. dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password dpkg: error processing simba (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: simba E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [..] I tried to reproduce it with cacti and i found the same problem again. Since both cacti and simba are using dbconfig-common a proper fix should be applied there. A possible solution would be to modify the "Configure database with dbconfig-common?" template to have a false default value.
