Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: davfs2
First of all thanks for packaging at all!
After installation I got errors after trying to mount a mount point as normal
user after I had run dpkg-reconfigure davfs2 and choosing a non existent user
group "davfs2". I than added the user to that group and added a line to fstab
as suggested by man mount.davfs. The following error occurred after I did (as
normal user):
$mount /home/bjorn/mnt/HTGpage/
/sbin/mount.davfs: User bjorn must be member of group root.
In my /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf I found: dav_group $group
My guess is in some dpkg-reconfigure script there is a couple to many '
(single quotes) because after I manually changed $group to davfs2 (the
name I chose for the group) the error vanished.
Next error I get is when trying to mount:
$ mount mnt/HTGpage/
cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/doc/davfs2/davfs2.conf.template': No such file or
directory
After I did:
:/usr/share/doc/davfs2$ ll
total 40

$sudo gzip -d examples/davfs2.conf.template.gz
$sudo ln examples/davfs2.conf.template
cp doesn't complain anymore.
After that mounting actually works but only with the following output:
/sbin/mount.davfs: Connection failed, mounting anyway. File system will only
be usable when connection comes up.
This last bit, though, might be due to misconfiguration. I'm not sure
yet.
Cheers.
