Package: gitaly
Version: 16.0.7+ds1-2~bpo12+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When installing gitaly from bookworm-fasttrack, postinst fails with the
following messages:
(Note: This is a rerun, thus override.conf was created by a previous run)
# dpkg --configure gitaly
Setting up gitaly (16.0.7+ds1-2~bpo12+1) ...
/etc/systemd/system/gitaly.service.d/override.conf already exist
Starting gitaly...failed.
invoke-rc.d: initscript gitaly, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package gitaly (--configure):
installed gitaly package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
gitaly
The messages are not clear what went wrong, and reading /etc/init.d/gitaly
doesn't make it clear where any specific start errors can be found (There's
a quoted /usr/bin/logger invocation, but nothing can be easily found in the
system logs that are filled with noise from other bookworm breakage).
P.S.
Looking in gitaly.postinst I see that the patch in bug
#974159 Message #10 seems to already have been applied, so this is
apparently different bug.
