Package: trac Version: 0.11.1-2~bpo40+1 Severity: important We have just upgraded trac to the version in lenny on an etch system, using the package from backports.org, which appears to exactly correspond to the normal lenny version.
After installing it trac-admin just gave backtrace errors complaining of 'file is not a database file or is encrypted', whien we did the recommended trac-admin /srv/tcl/trac upgrade We tried looking in /usr/share/doc/trac/README.Debian.gz and on the trac wiki, but they had nothing to say about this. Turned out that the problem was that our db/trac.db was in sqlite v2 format (from trac v0.10) and that trac v0.11 needs sqlite v3. A simple sqlite db/trac.db .dump | sqlite3 db/trac.db3 meant that things then worked as expected. This package really needs to give users a clue about this problem, as it is likely to afflict anyone upgrading from the etch version of trac. The README.Debian file should say something about it and provide the above upgrade rune. A debconf warning about it is probably a good idea too. Unfortunately I guess it cannot be automatic because the install knows nothing of the paths at which trac instances are installed. Maybe there is something about a full lenny upgrade, or the version in lenny itself which will mean that trac databases get automatically upgraded, but I doubt it, so some clues for users are important to avoid a lot of trac users wondering what to do when it breaks. We'll update the trac wiki upgrade about this problem, which should help. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages trac depends on: ii libjs-jquery 1.2.6-1~bpo40+1 JavaScript library for dynamic web ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.5.12 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-genshi 0.5.0-1~bpo40+1 Python XML-based template engine ii python-pysqlite2 2.3.2-2 python interface to SQLite 3 ii python-setuptools 0.6c3-3 Python Distutils Enhancements ii python-subversion 1.4.2dfsg1-2 Python bindings for Subversion ii subversion 1.4.2dfsg1-2 Advanced version control system Versions of packages trac recommends: ii apache [httpd] 1.3.34-4.1+etch1 versatile, high-performance HTTP s ii apache2 2.2.3-4+etch5 Next generation, scalable, extenda ii apache2-mpm-prefork [ht 2.2.3-4+etch5 Traditional model for Apache HTTPD ii enscript 1.6.4-11 Converts ASCII text to Postscript, ii python-tz 2006p-0.1 Python version of the Olson timezo -- no debconf information ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
