After running dpkg-reconfigure roundcube-core I find that
/etc/dbconfig-common/roundcube.conf remains unchanged, with the relevant
bits as follows:
# dbc_dbserver: database host.
# leave unset to use localhost (or a more efficient local method
# if it exists).
dbc_dbserver='localhost'
# dbc_dbport: remote database port
# leave unset to use the default. only applicable if you are
# using a remote database.
dbc_dbport='3306'
Procedure:
$ apt-get purge roundcube roundcube-core roundcube-mysql
$ apt-get --purge autoremove
$ apt-get install roundcube
Installer asks if I want to configure the database with
dbconfig-common, answer yes
Installer asks for me to set a password, to which I do
$ dpkg-reconfigure roundcube-core
Asked for IMAP server (stores answer in config.inc.php)
Asked for default language, set to en-CA (stores answer in
config.inc.php)
Asked if I want to reinstall the database, select YES
Asked for connection method, select UNIX SOCKET (no apparent effect)
Asked for authentication plugin, select default
Asked for database name, select roundcube
Asked for username, select roundcube
Asked for password, set it (x 2)
Asked for configuration account, set to root
Asked for what http servers to configure, select lighttpd
Asked if I want to restart lighttpd, select no
Expected behavior: Both debian-db.php and
/etc/dbconfig-common/roundcube.conf should reflect the selected Unix
Socket method of connection.
Actual behavior: Both files retain "localhost" as the server and "3306"
as the port.
I have tried this several times with the same result every time. I even
tried using a different password for the roundcube user in the
reconfigure that I did during the initial install. The new password
makes it through to dbconfig-common. The updated connection method
setting does not.
