--- Begin Message ---Package: bareos Version: 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u3 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.3 I've been happily using the bareos packages on jessie for a bit now (thank you for maintaining them!) I attempted to upgrade bareos to 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u3 (from +deb8u2) this afternoon, and it failed to configure. Here is trying to configure it again: root@Bennu:~# dpkg --configure -a Setting up bareos-database-common (14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u3) ... Warning: no database version defined for release 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56 (14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u2).

Warning: no database version defined for release 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56 (14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u2). Using default version: 2003 dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/bareos-database-common.conf dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password FAILED to set Catalog MyCatalog dbdriver = postgresql (/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf) ... which would make sense because I don't have a catalog called MyCatalog, except reading /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/bareos-config-lib.sh it turns out its actually nowhere near that robust; it's just looking for "dbdriver = ..." and failing to find it. That's broken for at least three reasons: 1) The documented parameter name is "DB Driver"; see http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#directiveDirCatalogDB%20Driver and bareos of course doesn't care about capitalization or spacing (which is why dbdriver also works). 2) Config files can include other config files, so the db config may not even be in that file at all. 3) It blindly overwrites any configuration changes made by the admin, which isn't permitted by Debian Policy §10.7.3. (In my case, bareos-dir.conf is actually a generated file — directly editing it is broken.) Thankfully, there is a fairly easy approach that solves all these problems: put the default Debian database config in its own file (possibly under /var/lib/bareos/) and then @-include it into the shipped bareos-dir.conf. Then you don't have to touch the configuration file. (I fixed my system by commenting out the apply_dbconfig_settings line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/bareos-database-common.postinst). -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.10 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages bareos depends on: ii bareos-client 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u3 iu bareos-director 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u3 ii bareos-storage 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u3 bareos recommends no packages. bareos suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
