[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#411868: request-tracker3.6: Unable to set up database

[Sam Morris]

Package: request-tracker3.6
Version: 3.6.1-3~bpo.1
Severity: important

I am unable to set up a database for RT:

$ /usr/sbin/rt-setup-database-3.6 --action init --dba postgres
Can't locate /etc/request-tracker3.6/RT_SiteConfig.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: /usr/share/request-tracker3.6/lib
/usr/local/share/request-tracker3.6/lib /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/request-tracker3.6/lib/RT.pm
line 131.

NB, although the bug report says that I modified RT_Config.pm, it was
only to add a comment to the end of the file that will make the vim
editor automatically prevent me from making any changes to it:

 # vim: nomodifiable
