Package: mediawiki Version: 1:1.27.1-2~bpo8+1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I am running Jessie with backports, hence mediawiki upgraded earlier than it will for most people upgrading from Jessie to Stretch. I run with few changes so my installation is likely to be typical. After the upgrade I found mediawiki pages reporting 'A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software' The fix, which should be in a NEWS.Debian, so users find it on upgrade, rather than when using the software, was cd /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance ./update.php --dbuser root --dbpass xxx Note that the wikiuser user does not have (or need) permissions to update the schema. I also had to update /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php to add the line wfLoadSkin( 'Vector' ); and I changed my skin from monobook (which I think was the old default skin) to vector. Having made these changes everthing runs very smoothly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mediawiki depends on: ii apache2 [httpd] 2.4.10-10+deb8u7 ii libjs-jquery 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2 ii mediawiki-classes 1:1.27.1-2~bpo8+1 ii mime-support 3.58 ii php5 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 ii php5-common 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 ii php5-mysql 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 ii php5-pgsql 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 ii php5-sqlite 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 Versions of packages mediawiki recommends: ii mysql-server 5.5.52-0+deb8u1 ii php-wikidiff2 1.2+git03ea59f-1 ii php5-cli 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 ii php5-curl 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 ii php5-intl 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 ii python 2.7.9-1 Versions of packages mediawiki suggests: pn clamav <none> pn hhvm <none> ii imagemagick 8:6.8.9.9-5+deb8u5 ii memcached 1.4.21-1.1 ii php5-apcu 4.0.7-1 ii php5-gd 5.6.24+dfsg-0+deb8u1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/apache2/conf-available/mediawiki.conf changed [not included] /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf 2fc573bdfa17c1f85e93dbff87b8face [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/mediawiki/apache.conf 2fc573bdfa17c1f85e93dbff87b8face' /etc/mediawiki/cherokee.conf 9bef51969672b3abea3c9ca960bd1163 [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/mediawiki/cherokee.conf 9bef51969672b3abea3c9ca960bd1163' -- debconf information: mediawiki/webserver: apache2
