You should make sure the database configuration is done in bacula-director's postinst. That will ensure the director is not configured until all its dependencies have been. -- The volume of a pizza of thickness a and radius z can be described by the following formula: pi zz a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

mass bug filing about packages with empty /usr/share/doc/$package/ (no copyright file)?
Hi, someone asked me to add a piuparts check for packages that don't have a copyright file /usr/share/doc/$package/copyright. I added something (it's now in the git repository and running on piuparts.d.o) and filed a few bugs already, but now it seems the problem is more widespread. The problem usually occurs after an upgrade (e.g. squeeze->wheezy) where the package does change something w.r.t directories and symlinks in /usr/share/doc. As dpkg intentionally does not replace a directory with a symlink (or vice versa), these package usually end up with an empty /u/s/d/$package/ directory instead of a symlink like /u/s/d/$package -> $package-common , so maintainer scripts are needed to do the conversion. The list of buggy packages can be found here: http://piuparts.debian.org/squeeze2wheezy/unknown_failures.html (There are some logs with different "unclassified" problems, but most of them have this problem.) I'm afraid I don't have the time right now to thoroughly analyze these logs and report all the bugs, so some help would be welcome. Right now there are about 30 packages being buggy, but more will probably show up as squeeze2wheezy gets retested with the new check. Also we should formulate some advice how to fix this issue, probably including some maintainer script snippets. There are several DDs that have already fixed these bugs (thanks!), so they should know how to do this :-) As missing a copyright file is a violation of policy 12.5, these would be RC bugs affecting wheezy. The error output at the end of the logfile looks like this: MISSING COPYRIGHT FILE: /usr/share/doc/bitlbee/copyright drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 15 12:45 /usr/share/doc/bitlbee total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 15 12:45 . drwxr-xr-x 92 root root 4096 Sep 15 12:45 .. and was generated with echo MISSING COPYRIGHT FILE: $PKGDOCDIR/copyright ls -lad $PKGDOCDIR ls -la $PKGDOCDIR/ A bug template should probably start with: <- snip --> To: sub...@bugs.debian.org Subject: $PACKAGE: copyright file missing after upgrade (policy 12.5) Package: $PACKAGE Version: $VERSION Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Control: found -1 $PACKAGE/$VERSION Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package misses the copyright file after an upgrade from squeeze to wheezy, which is a violation of Policy 12.5: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory. ...

Since this is related to upgrading, I guess that this cannot be checked by lintian. If you're looking for a consensus on debian-devel on whether mass bug filing is appropriate in this case, then I can say that I agree. > > I'm afraid I don't have the time right now to thoroughly analyze these > logs and report all the bugs, so some help would be welcome. I'm offering help, but only for part of the work : I could write a perl script that periodically scans the logfiles and submits additional bugs. > Right now there are about 30 packages being buggy, but more will > probably show up as squeeze2wheezy gets retested with the new check. > > Also we should formulate some advice how to fix this issue, probably > including some maintainer script snippets.

That will ensure the director is not > configured until all its dependencies have been. I did not checked the bacula-director case explicitly. But, in case of a software using a DB and using dbconfig-common, the database dependency cannot be a hard one (ie a Depends) as the database can be installed on another machine. Instead, Recommends or even Suggests are used. This is perhaps the reason why Alexander Golovko see some problems in postinst order between the DB and its package. One possible solution would be that apt (dpkg?) try to order package postinst as much as possible, not only for depends as currently, but also recommends and suggests *when possible*. I do not know at all if what I suggest is already implemented or not.

I think it really is, since it saves space with minimal effort. It only becomes an issue when you switch a package to a symlinked directory and get wrong the code in the maintainer scripts. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: Digital signature
