[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#559304: request-tracker3.6: debconf/ucf warning on upgrade: maintainer script did not pass '--debconf-ok' to ucf

[Dave Ewart]

Package: request-tracker3.6
Version: 3.6.7-5+lenny3
Severity: minor


On upgrading RT 3.6 (new packages as a result of 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2009/msg00267.html ) I see the 
following warning during the upgrade:


dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/request-tracker3.6.conf
*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but
             the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
             script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf,
             and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to using
             old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!

             Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.

I don't believe this affects the subsequent behaviour of RT in any way (i.e.
nothing appears to be wrong).  Am simply reporting this because it asked that
I do so.

If it matters, I'm using RT 3.6 under Lenny with Apache2 and fastcgi, database
located on a separate machine.
