Package: mailman3
Version: 3.3.3-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I am attempting to use Mysql as the database backend. I ran `dpkg-reconfigure
mailman3` as directed in README.Debian, but encountered an error because it
couldn't reach my MySQL instance. I was able to 'abort' which brought me to a
shell. I corrected the database problem and tried to `dpkg-configure mailman3`
again, but it only stated "Determining localhost credentials from
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf: succeeded." without asking any more prompts or finishing
the configuration. Even if I use -plow I cannot force it to run the
reconfiguration, to even ask whether I want to use SQLite or MySQL much less
configure them properly.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
As mostly explained above, I used `dpkg-reconfigure mailman3` and
`dpkg-reconfigure -plow mailman3`.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The package was not proper reconfigured.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Prompts about which database to use and how to configure it, including
prompting me for the password.
