Package: jffnms
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: important
I have tried to install jffnms with postgresql :
apt-get install postgresql
apt-get install php4-pgsql jffnms
(this way it doesn't try to install any mysql lib or app)
the installer prompts for a username/password for database administrator
with "root" as a default username.
I changed "root" to "postgres" which is the UNIX username of the
postgresql database admin on Debian (root isn't even a known user of
postgreql by default). I left the password blank since postgres doesn't
have one (* in /etc/shadow).
I guess (I don't know where to look for the installer script) that the
installer tried to connect to the database (on localhost in my case)
with the user/password given which wouldn't have worked even if the user
postgres had a password because by default (/etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf)
users are supposed to be identified by the method "ident sameuser".
It would be simpler for the installer (which runs as root) to
"sudo -u postgres" the command(s) that create the jffnms database and
user.
Or to keep only one method of authentication wether the database is on
localhost or not (ie user/passwd), a warning should be given to
reconfigure /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf to enable user/passwd
authentication and set a passwd for postgres.
Or the installer script should give directions for the user to install
the database himself.
dpkg -s jffnms doesn't even report that the installation went wrong !
it says : "Status: install ok installed"

This problem was due to the old helper tool I used to create and update
databases. For a long while I have used dbconfig-common which should
not give this same result.
