[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#940482: quassel: Cannot add user to quassel after upgrade to Debian 10

[Volker Birk]

Source: quassel
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to add a user using

# quasselcore -c /var/lib/quassel --add-user

quasselcore is replying with:

2019-09-16 12:26:27 [Warn ] SslServer: Failed to open certificate file /var/lib/quassel/quasselCert.pem error: 5
2019-09-16 12:26:27 [Warn ] SslServer: Unable to set certificate file
           Quassel Core will still work, but cannot provide SSL for client connections.
           Please see https://quassel-irc.org/faq/cert to learn how to enable SSL support.

2019-09-16 12:26:27 [Error] Cannot write quasselcore configuration; probably a permission problem.

The certificate file is there. There is no PostgreSQL but SQLite
database. There is no permission problem (and the command is executed as
root). When I'm adding the switch --select-backend SQLite like in:

quasselcore -c /var/lib/quassel --add-user --select-backend SQLite

I'm stuck with:

Testing an upgrade is leading to a dependency on systemd, which I do not
have (we're using sysvinit on servers only). But this could be the issue.
