Here's a first diagnostic: When doing a squeeze => wheezy => jessie upgrade test, one gets: ================================================================

Preserving your changes in /etc/apache2/conf-available/ocsinventory-server.conf Changing 'require "SOAP_USER"' by 'require user "SOAP_USER"' Backup is available in ocsinventory-server.conf.old apache2_invoke: Enable configuration ocsinventory-server When doing a wheezy => jessie upgrade test, one gets: ===================================================== Setting up ocsinventory-server (2.0.5-1.3) ... apache2_invoke: Enable configuration ocsinventory-server The "preserving your change" is wrong and is the root of the problem. ============= = Diagnostic ============= Squeeze ------- 1.02.2-1.1 postinst configure is quite complex. In unattended mode, it will generate a /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory.conf when it doesn't exists, using debconf, template /usr/share/ocsinventory-server/files/ocsinventory.conf and a bunch of sed commands. ( https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/ocsinventory-server.git/tree/debian/ocsinventory-server.postinst?h=debian/1.02.2-1.1 ) The resulting /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory.conf file with 024b0d2e135eb4810e3ff1316ce1e3db (unfortunatly, I'm testing with xen and it looks like old squeeze is not longer supported by xen-tools. So I could only test 1.02.2-1.1 in wheezy. This hash should be double checked) Wheezy ------ 2.0.5-1.1 /usr/share/ocsinventory-server/files/ocsinventory.conf => 024b0d2e135eb4810e3ff1316ce1e3db 2.0.5-1.1 postinst configure does: if [ ! -f /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory.conf ]; then cp /usr/share/ocsinventory-server/files/ocsinventory.conf /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory.conf fi Lenny ----- 2.0.5-1.3 postinst configure does: if [ $(md5sum /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory.conf | cut -d \ -f 1) = '024b0d2e135eb4810e3ff1316ce1e3db' ]; then # file unchanged since wheezy rm /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory.conf else echo Preserving your changes in /etc/apache2/conf-available/ocsinventory-server.conf mv /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/ocsinventory-server.conf echo "Changing 'require \"SOAP_USER\"' by 'require user \"SOAP_USER\"'" sed -i.old 's/require "SOAP_USER"/require user "SOAP_USER"/' /etc/apache2/conf-available/ocsinventory-server.conf echo Backup is available in ocsinventory-server.conf.old fi => Lenny postinst configure also discard postinst whose hash is 024b0d2e135eb4810e3ff1316ce1e3db .
