--- Begin Message ---Package: sympa Version: 6.0.1+dfsg-4 Severity: important Hello, When installing, sympa prompts whether to use dbconfig-common or not. If you select not to, the installation then fails, leaving the package partially configured: dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/sympa.conf Creating config file /etc/dbconfig-common/sympa.conf with new version Unknown database type . dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 configured to not write apport reports Errors were encountered while processing: sympa E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Setting up sympa (6.0.1+dfsg-4) ... dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/sympa.conf Unknown database type . dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: sympa Looking at the postinst script, it looks like it's the following that's causing the installation to fail: name=$dbc_dbname case "$dbc_dbtype" in mysql) type=mysql;; pgsql) type=Pg;; sqlite*) type=SQLite; name="$dbc_basepath/$dbc_dbname";; *) echo "Unknown database type $dbc_dbtype."; exit 1;; esac However, since I chose not to use dbconfig-common, I don't think that this should be being called. Trying to run dpkg --configure simply ends up with the postinst script exiting, so it's impossible to get the package out of the 'partially configured' state, hence the severity of 'important'. Unfortunately, I'm not particularly familiar with postinst scripts, and so haven't tried to provide a patch, but would it be possible/sensible to test if dbconfig-install was set, and if not, skip the translation of dbconfig-common parameters to sympa's configuration values?
