Bug#296935: Setting up of webcalendar fails
Hellow Justin, The problem may be that the DB_PASSWORD line is unable to handle an @ sign (though I cannot reproduce it). Can you try running dpkg-reconfigure webcalendar, and entering a purely alphanumeric password? I cannot run dpkg-reconfigure webcalendar : /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: webcalendar is broken or not fully installed Cheers, Filippo -- Please, deactivate the HTML mail feature: use simple text mail for me.

You can work around it by editting the appropriate line in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat. Yes, it helped. However, the install of webcalendar along with a number of other packages seamed very much complicated to me. I could not even understand how to point my web browser to webcalendar... nothing was put in /var/www, which as I understand it, the standard location for Apache-served files... I believe that that's intentional. The webcalendar files are in /usr/share because they are sharable, and apache.conf (or its counterpart) is updated with a web alias: /webcalendar = /usr/share/webcalendar. Besides keeping them in share/, this allows an easy way to disable web apps without removing them; just edit apache.conf. When I tried to load a /usr/share/webcalendar/index.php file in mozilla-firefox it asked me if I wanted to store it on disk, not recognizing that this was php script ! That's a php problem, though, not a webcalendar one. If you haven't already found the solution, check /etc/apache*/conf.d/*php*, and possibly uncomment some lines to enable php preprocessing. Maybe dpkg-reconfigure php4 will do that for you, actually. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm not sure why you can't reproduce this: 1) You seem to have replaced ')' with '}'. (Just for the record).

I don't understand why. dpkg-reconfigure webcalendar /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: webcalendar is broken or not fully installed Shouldn't purging erase the debconf values so I can install it again? It doesn't. 4) /etc/webcalendar/settings.php is not removed on purge, which causes an unsightly message /etc/webcalendar not empty so not removed. That file should be manually rm in prerm:purge (but not in prerm:remove). Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If that wasn't a temporary password before, then it should be now.
I'm including this below for reference of the maintainer.

The problem may be that the DB_PASSWORD line is unable to handle an @
sign (though I cannot reproduce it). Can you try running
dpkg-reconfigure webcalendar, and entering a purely alphanumeric
password?
It may also be that it is unable to deal with SINGLE_USER_LOGIN being
null (though I suspect that this is okay, since that how my install
should look).
Other comments for the maintainer: the s/DEBCONF::// should be
anchored, and doesn't seem to need the /g modifier:
$line =~ s/^.*?: DEBCONF/;
Also, the .tpl (template?) file should be installed into
/usr/share/webcalendar, and not into /etc/, since it is not a
configuration file.
