Package: sympa
Version: 5.3.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi.
I tried and install sympa over postgresql in order to try and test the grave
bug.
I noticed that the database wouldn't be created.
I'm using french locale, and here's what's happening :
+ case $db_type in
+ db_get sympa/db_authtype
+ _db_cmd 'GET sympa/db_authtype'
+ IFS=' '
+ printf '%s\n' 'GET sympa/db_authtype'
debconf (developer): <-- GET sympa/db_authtype
debconf (developer): --> 0 Basée sur ident
+ IFS='
'
+ read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET='Basée sur ident'
+ case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in
+ return 0
+ '[' 'Basée sur ident' = Ident-based ']'
+ /usr/share/sympa/db/install-pg-db -w sympa -a /tmp/file9eHD5S -d sympa -h
localhost -u /tmp/fileVu4UbT
DBI connect('dbname=template1','postgres',...) failed: FATAL: authentification
Ident échouée pour l'utilisateur « postgres »
at /usr/share/sympa/db/install-pg-db line 71
I'm suspecting some bug in debconf, which would return the translated value for
a choice, instead of the original (english) value that the maintainer defined.
sympa.template provides the following :
Template: sympa/db_authtype
Type: select
Choices: Ident-based, Password
...
Choices-fr.UTF-8: Basée sur ident, Mot de passe
Hope this helps,
