Package: doodle Version: 0.6.2-3 Severity: important
Error from dpkg: Setting up doodle (0.6.2-3) ... chmod: cannot access `/var/lib/doodle/doodle.db': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing doodle (--install): In the configure script I see: if [ ! -d $DOODLE_DBPATH ] then mkdir -p $DOODLE_DBPATH fi chown root.$DOODLE_GROUP $DOODLE_DBPATH The obvious, and probably wrong, workaround is to add a 'touch $DOODLE_DBPATH' before the chown command. Wrong, because running doodle with such a database would generate: Assertion failed at tree.c:328. Database file '/var/lib/doodle/doodle.db' has wrong magic code. Is there a simple way to put in that file an empty database if the database does not exist? Or is there any need to chown if the database does not exist? Note that I've rebuilt the Sid package on a Sarge system. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=he_IL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=he_IL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages doodle depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii libdoodle1 0.6.2-3 desktop search engine (library) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
