Package: drupal
Version: 4.5.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss


The upgrade script from 4.4.x that this package attempts to run 
apparently doesn't think to run "createlang plpgsql drupal" like it 
should before doing the upgrade. This causes the upgrade to fail 
horribly on systems where that hasn't been done. In addition, on my 
system, the "backup" in /var/lib/drupal just contained 4 commented lines 
saying something like "this is a backup from the upgrade process", so I 
now have no way to recover my data.

Normally I file better bug reports than this, but I'm a little agitated 
at the loss of ~4 years of personal content, and because my main 
workstation overheated and died while I was in the process of trying to 
recover from this. :(
