I made it grave, because package simply will not install: the preinst failed; and as far as I can tell, that counts as a grave bug: Preparing to unpack .../137-diaspora_0.6.0.0+debian-7_all.deb ... psql: FATAL: role "diaspora" does not exist dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: dpkg: warning: version 'diaspora-common' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-SWG1Sz/137-diaspora_0.6.0.0+debian-7_all.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: dpkg: warning: version 'diaspora-common' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1 (and I don't know why the postrm failed too). > > Could not find gem 'mysql2 (~> 0.4.4)' in any of the gem sources listed in > > your > > Gemfile or available on this machine. > > Because the diaspora package currently only supports postgresql.

I've purged it and will start again - it will probably be more successful this time! Ah, no, it gave up on diaspora-common, because it's trying to connect with debian-sys-maint to port 3306, which is not where postgresql is connected. And I can't find an obvious way to change it. :-( Julian _______________________________________________ Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers mailing list Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers
