Package: condor
Version: 7.8.1~dfsg.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
>From a user report via email:
The package fails to install/upgrade whenever an admin removes/unsets any of
the following of Condor's config variables
LOCAL_UNIV_EXECUTE CRED_STORE_DIR EXECUTE LOCK LOG SPOOL
The reason is that the postinst script does not handle this condition
and fails whenever the corresponding condor_config_val call to query the
respective value fails.
A simple patch is attached -- courtesy of Tim Cartwright.
