Hi Andreas! Thanks for the report. The problem arises when upgrading from a sqlite database to a mysql database. There is currently no upgrade path (there is another bug against roundcube for this). Moreover dbconfig-common does not handle a change in the backend like in your non interactive upgrade which leads to this error: > Setting up roundcube-core (0.7.2-5) ... > Installing new version of config file /etc/logrotate.d/roundcube-core ... > dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/roundcube.conf > Replacing config file /etc/dbconfig-common/roundcube.conf with new version > Replacing config file /etc/roundcube/debian-db.php with new version > creating database backup in > /var/cache/dbconfig-common/backups/roundcube_0.7.1-1~bpo60+1.mysql. > error encountered backing up the old database: > mysqldump: Got error: 1049: Unknown database 'roundcube' when selecting the > database > dbconfig-common: roundcube configure: aborted. > dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password > dpkg: error processing roundcube-core (--configure): > subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit > status 1 I suppose that dbconfig-common should backup the database using the previous database (sqlite) and install the new database (mysql). I think this is something pretty complicated to do. I reassign to dbconfig-common and downgrade the severity. -- #if 0 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/fs/buffer.c
