Package: sympa
Version: 6.1.23~dfsg-1~bpo70+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
My sympa installation is with a postgres database on an other server. After
this (and previous) upgrades
of sympa nothing worked. The postgres database is not updated, webinterface did
not work, configuration
files were incorrectly adjusted, files ownership incorrect.
I do not know the reasons but I assume the post install or upgrade script made
a mess.
I can't exactly remember the previous important backports upgrade but in that
case:
- the configuration files were incorrectly updated. I remember that the database
configuration entries in sympa.conf were overwritten.
- It was impossible to install without mysql (I use postgres)
With a lot of patience I managed to get sympa running again.
Last upgrade to 6.1.23:
- Postgres database was not updated. I had to to this by hand: compare the
source of
6.1.23 with the existing postgres database and alter the tables by hand. Time
consuming and I'm not sure everything is now correct.
- for unknown reason my webinterface did not work. A new configuration solved
this
problem
- I presume files in /usr/lib/sympa/lib/sympa have an incorrect permission and
ownership.
After
chown sympa /usr/lib/sympa/lib/sympa/*
chmod u+s /usr/lib/sympa/lib/sympa/*
it works again
- Probably some other issues. If things are working again I tend to forget
pretty quickly
all the actions.
I understand that thing can go wrong, but the sympa upgrades are complicated. I
think the
main reasons are: I use postgres as database and the database server is not
localhost.
For the moment sympa is running again but I still get apt errors:
