Bug#682959: debconf: DbDriver di_questions: mkdir :No such file or directory [WORKAROUND]
Package: debconf-utils Version: 1.5.55 Followup-For: Bug #682959 Dear Maintainer, On Wheezy the following script works fine: #! /bin/bash debconf-copydb configdb newbackup --config=Name:newbackup --config=Driver:File --config=Filename:debconf-backup_`date -I`.dat On Jessie/Testing I get the following error: Use of uninitialized value $directory in -d at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/File.pm line 43. Use of uninitialized value $directory in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/File.pm line 44. debconf: DbDriver newbackup: mkdir :No such file or directory Comparing /usr/share/perl5/debconf/DbDriver/File.pm of Wheezy with the same file in Jessie shows that the file is missing some lines between line 40 and 44. I copied File.pm from Wheezy to my Jessie installation and low and behold - the debconf backup script works again. Seems to be an upstream problem. Maybe this can make it still into Jessie while it's frozen.
