Package: fusiondirectory
Severity: important
Version: 1.2.3-3
Luckily I got some help with this... I observed a fusiondirectory
backport of 1.2.3-3 to hang indefinitely and causing a zombie child
process of the debconf frontend.
Here the bug hunting chat on IRC:
```
14:53 < sunweaver> 14:50 < sunweaver> hi all, I have a highly weird
phenomenon I have never seen with dpkg.
14:53 < sunweaver> 14:50 < sunweaver> I try to install fusiondirectory
from (soon) stretch-backports on a stretch system.
14:53 < sunweaver> 14:51 < sunweaver> and I get a process named
"fusiondirectory" as a child of the debconf frontend process.
14:53 < sunweaver> 14:51 < sunweaver> and that fusiondirectory process
zombifies...
14:53 < sunweaver> 14:51 < sunweaver> http://paste.debian.net/1074231/
14:53 < sunweaver> 14:52 < sunweaver> the installation process then
hangs after postinst. Even when running dpkg with fancy debug modes, I
see the dpkg installation hang at the
14:53 < sunweaver> very end of postinst (after set
-x has printed "exit 0" (last line of postinst) onto the screen).
14:53 < sunweaver> 14:52 < sunweaver> anyone any idea```
14:53 < sunweaver> (cross posting from #debian-qa)
14:54 < hartmans> sunweaver: Can you point me at the package sources
of the exact version you're installing?
14:54 < jcristau> you need to db_stop before you fork the service i guess
14:54 < hartmans> Yeah, that was going to be my guess
14:54 < sunweaver> ok...
14:54 < jcristau> to close the pipes to debconf
14:55 -!- Lutin <[email protected]> has quit (Ping timeout:
480 seconds)
14:55 < sunweaver> first the link...
14:55 < jcristau> or, use systemd
14:56 -!- faw <[email protected]> has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
14:56 < sunweaver>
http://packages.ps.informatik.uni-kiel.de/debian/pool/main/f/fusiondirectory/fusiondirectory_1.2.3-3~bpo9+1.dsc
14:56 < sunweaver> dget on that file should give you the src:pkg.
14:56 < sunweaver> the funny thing... installing on buster works nicely.
14:57 < sunweaver> not the bpo, of course, but the buster/unstable
version of the src:pkg from the Debian archive.
14:57 < jcristau> have you diffed the postinsts?
14:57 < sunweaver> lemme see...
15:00 < sunweaver> postinst are the same...
15:00 < hartmans> This postinst script is horrible
15:01 < sunweaver> urgh...
15:01 * sunweaver ducks...
15:01 * sunweaver would say... historically grown...
15:01 < hartmans> Why does the postinst call the debconf confmodule
without making any other debconf calls?
15:02 < hartmans> Also, the postinst script does a bunch of stuff even
when not called as configure... It's wrong to do the rearranging of
the apache scripts on abort-upgrade for example
15:02 < sunweaver> ok, will fix that.
15:03 < jcristau> the best postinst is /dev/null
15:03 -!- Lutin <[email protected]> has joined #debian-devel
15:03 < sunweaver> the package uses debconf to pop up a warning about
potential breakages when major version upgrades take place.
15:03 < hartmans> If you retain the debconf confmodule for some
reason, you want a db_stop call prior to restarting the daemon
15:04 < sunweaver> what daemon? Apache2?
15:04 < sunweaver> there is debconf magic in preinst.
15:04 < jcristau> this is postinst we're talking about
15:04 < hartmans> OK, but I don't think you need confmodule in
postinst for that to work
15:04 < sunweaver> ok.
15:05 < sunweaver> lintian popped up about it, but lintian might just
not be bright enough.
15:05 < sunweaver> let me try dropping the debconf confmodule.
15:06 < sunweaver> yep.
15:06 < sunweaver> ok. I will rewrite the postinst and bring it into buster...
15:06 < sunweaver> thanks !!!
```
I will rewrite the postinst script now and propose a fix-up version
for Debian buster.
Mike
