retitle 569139 Misleading wording on first dbc release
reassign 569139 dbconfig-common
thanks

Hi Sean,

Here we have a situation of upgrading bacula-director-sqlite3  to 5.0.0
from a version prior to the point where it switched to dbconfig-common.

I have set dbc_first_version=3.0.3-3 in both config and postinst for
this package.  The submitter is upgrading from a version prior to that.

I believe he is getting confused by the wording in dbconfig-install,
which says that "if your database has already been installed and
configured, you should refuse this option."  He's doing that, and thus
not being asked about the upgrade.

That wording is misleading in the case of upgrading a package from a
version before dbc_first_version, because in that situation, the package
*is* installed and configured, and yet it should still be managed by
dbconfig-common to be automatically upgraded.

Thanks,

-- John
