[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#550274: rt-setup-database goes into infinite loop if DB configuration is incomplete

Marcus Better marcus at better.se

Package: request-tracker3.8
Version: 3.8.5-1
Severity: normal

I ran

  rt-setup-database-3.8 --dba rt --prompt-for-dba-password --action upgrade

without realising that I had accidentally forgotton to specify a
$DatabaseName in SiteConfig. This causes the script to go into an
endless loop, spewing messages to the console. Instead it should do
some basic error checking.

Partial output:
