[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#865350: icinga2-ido-mysql: fails to create features-enabled/ido-mysql.conf

[Alan Jenkins]

Package: icinga2-ido-mysql
Version: 2.6.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

postinst is clearly trying to set ido-mysql to be enabled in icinga2,
if the user selects "yes" when asked whether to enable it, at install
time.  (If they do not, it tries to disable it).

This doesn't seem to work for me, even after purging both icinga2-ido-mysql
and icinga2-common, removing /etc/icinga2, and trying again.

dbconfig creates the database ok, but the code to enable the feature
doesn't seem to be reached:

dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password

Scanning processes...

(The subsequent lines are from hooks installed by etckeeper
and needrestart).

There's supposed to be lines there saying ido-mysql is either
being enabled, *or disabled*, *and* then icinga2 is being reloaded.

I also notice even though I selected "yes", that's not what is
recorded in debconf.  debconf-show icinga2-ido-mysql shows
that icinga2-ido-mysql/enable is "false".  (It is marked as "*"
for "seen" though).

If I run dpkg-reconfigure, the prompt to enable IDO has the
correct effect (regardless of whether I recreate the database
or not).


Sidenote: there's a minor problem when I purged the packages,
they seem to use the wrong order.  Maybe it needs a special kind of
dependency??  This is why I had to rmdir the features-available
and icinga2 directories.
