Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: etckeeper
I just tested to install maverick here at the University of Oslo, where we have
customized the installation to install a few extra packages. One of the
packages is etckeeper, which is installed very early in the installation
process (in post-base-installer),
to get a record of every change in /etc/.
This worked just fine in lucid, but in maverick this breaks the installer. The
reason is that bzr, the default VCS for etckeeper in Ubuntu, now refuses to
commit changes before a name and email address has been configured. This used
to work, but
now fail.
A fix would be for etckeeper to run bzr whoami 'Enoch Root
<r...@hostname>' or something similar to get the configuration to show
up in ~root/.bazaar/bazaar.conf when initializing the repository.
Another fix would be for bzr to accept "anonymous" commits like it did
in Lucid.
