Package: ejabberd
Severity: important
Hi,
the postinst script fails when the admin account already exists. It
shouldn't.
Starting jabber server: ejabberd.
User "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" already registered at node [EMAIL PROTECTED]
dpkg: error processing ejabberd (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
My quick fix for this was
--- /tmp/ejabberd.postinst 2006-07-29 12:07:55.170647099 +0200
+++ /var/lib/dpkg/info/ejabberd.postinst 2006-07-29 12:03:45.041976562

FLAG="/var/lib/ejabberd/.admin_registered"
if [ ! -f $FLAG -a -n "$USER" -a -n "$PASSWD" ]; then
sleep 5
- ejabberdctl register "$USER" "$HOST" "$PASSWD"
+ ejabberdctl register "$USER" "$HOST" "$PASSWD" || true

}
This may be suboptimal when there is another reason for register
failure.
Goodbyte, Gerd.

please read the debconf messages before answering them:
Template: ejabberd/user
...
Leave empty if you don't want to create an admin account automatically.
You have explicitely asked for creating the already existing account,
haven't you?
Regards,
Torsten
