[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#283778: nagios-common: Upgrade fails because Nagiosadmin already exists

[Olivier Berger]

Package: nagios-common
Version: 2:1.3-0+pre4
Severity: normal


Upgrade of nagios in testing seems to be broken :

Setting up nagios-common (1.3-0+pre4) ...
Reloading apache-ssl configuration.
Nagiosadmin already existing with password. To change the
password, please use the /usr/bin/htpasswd command.
Reloading nagios configuration files.
dpkg: error processing nagios-common (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 nagios-common

installation script returned error exit status 100.
Press <enter> to continue.

I had to purge the nagios packages first, then remove manually the
/etc/nagios/htpasswd.users file, then reinstall again.

There are errors when reinstalling, but not any which would block the
installation process... so I hope I can restore the configuration
somehow.
