SRU Report: Bug Impact: This bug is related to bug #255368. The ebox and libebox packages won't function correctly without the additional gconf_dbus patches.
Fix in the development branch: Not yet fixed in Jaunty, but will be soon. The issue is fixed in the eBox PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ebox-unstable/+archive so the problem is fixed upstream. Minimal Patch: See dpatch attachment for ebox and the additional attachment for libebox. Test Case: If dpatch 16_add_apache_authcookie.dpatch is applied without the gconf patches for ebox and libebox, ebox will be installable but won't start. The resulting error: $ sudo /etc/init.d/ebox restart Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Not running within active session) at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/GConfModule.pm line 50. Regression Potential: I don't believe there will be any regression based on my testing. Also, the patch is intended to fix a regression that results in a non-working package. If there is any additional information required please let me know. Also, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebox/+bug/255368/comments/21 for a debdiff of the ebox package containing both the apache-auth-cookie patch and the gconf-dbus patch. If needed I can attach the debdiff to this bug as well. ** Attachment added: "17_dbus_gconf.dpatch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20967898/17_dbus_gconf.dpatch -- ebox and libebox don't support Intrepid gconf version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
