[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#721773: biomaj: fails to install: database configuration problem

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: biomaj
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed
  Fetched 4763 kB in 0s (33.2 MB/s)
  Selecting previously unselected package biomaj.
  (Reading database ... 13419 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking biomaj (from .../biomaj_1.2.2-1_all.deb) ...
  Setting up biomaj (1.2.2-1) ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/biomaj.config: 17: [: =: unexpected operator
  You need to configure the database access before executing the upgrade
  Execute the script manually once configuration is done
  Died at /var/lib/biomaj/migration/update.pl line 32.
   ***************************************************************************************
  Before running the migration, please check that database configuration is correctly set 
  and that the database schema and user are correctly created.
  To upgrade the database, the script must be run with the following arguments:
    For a first install, all arguments are mandatory, for an upgrade, only some parameters are required.
    - First install: [ -dbuser DBUSER -dbpwd DBPASSWORD -dbhost DBHOST -db (mysql|hsql)]
    - From v1.1 : 	  [ -admin LOGIN -adminpwd PASSWORD -adminemail  ADMINEMAIL]
  
  To get the current version, execute: biomaj --version
  dpkg: error processing biomaj (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   biomaj


piuparts tests are run with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=oninteractive, so no debconf
questions will be asked and the defaults are used.

A mysql database server was running inside the chroot where the test was performed.


cheers,

Andreas
