[DRE-maint] Bug#606982: redmine: fails to upgrade all instances

[Antoine Beaupre]

Package: redmine
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: normal

I have configured redmine to use a specific instance, separate of the "default" one. It is named "koumbit" and has configuration in /etc/redmine/koumbit

During the upgrade, it seems that the session configuration is not updated properly. I was getting an error similar to this one:

http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/11085

To work around the issue, I did the following steps:

# chown redmine /etc/redmine/koumbit/session.yml
# su -s /bin/sh redmine
$ env X_DEBIAN_SITEID=koumbit RAILS_ENV=production rake generate_session_store
(in /usr/share/redmine)
$ env X_DEBIAN_SITEID=koumbit RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
(in /usr/share/redmine)
==  AddIndexOnChangesetsScmid: migrating ======================================
[...]
$ exit
# chown root /etc/redmine/koumbit/session.yml

Once that was done, the errors went away. Note that the session.yml was readable and accessed by the web interface, so that wasn't the problem. It just wasn't generated properly (even though debconf prompted me to replace the 
file).

Also note that I chown redmine and su redmine because I isolated my redmine instance using passenger user switching, so this could be "www-data" instead of "redmine" for you.
