Hello Lionel, thanks for taking the time to check up on it! Actually, I mentioned in the initial report that I chose the Automatic choice. But I learnt that it can't be selected if at the same time you pull mysql as a dependency. I had mysql installed earlier, so that's why I could choose it at first attempt.
I have since then tried a clean install of Dapper in debootstrap, and I can't install bugzilla there either. So my thoughts about this lappie being dist-upgraded all the way from hoary making a difference were wrong. I have now installed bugzilla from sources, so it's got to be something in the postinst-db.pl script, which is under investigation at the moment, since I thought because this package doesn't have a real maintainer in Ubuntu community, I could step up and claim it for me. :) When I've debugged the script and (hopefully, perl is new to me) found the error, I'll post the results and start building the package, a new skill as well... Don't hold your breath. :) -- Bugzilla installation fails to create a database https://launchpad.net/bugs/55747 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
