Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-4suite
I tried installing 4suite tonight and I found that it did not want to
start. Several issues arose.
1) The init script has bashism that cause it to fail. Replacing /bin/sh
with /bin/bash gets it to work. The specific bashism seems to be the
use of local.
2) The shell variables PIDDIR and LOGDIR are not defined and as such it
can't create those directories and chown them. They should be
/var/{run,log}/4Suite.
3) The way that the config file seems to suggest to give the init script
the username and password don't seem to work. As such 4ssd seems to
just sit there and then times out. I'm not sure how to fix this.
Though running the 4ss_manager by hand and inputing the username and
password you selected while initing seems to work out well.
4) The docs are kinda vague on the need for the user to run init. Its
in the doc package, but I would expect such a necessary action to be in
the README.Debian.
I believe that that is it. I know I'm reporting 5 separate bugs in the
same bug report, but they are all related and any one will stop anyone
from even trying 4suite cause its so hard to get up and running.
