Package: moodle Version: 2.2.2.dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The moodle package asks for the administrative password of the database server being used. However, this is not appropriate in all the circumstances that the package is expected to reasonably work in. For example, if an organization has a dba that issues databases and a username and password with all privileges for them, but never releases an admin user. Or perhaps there is a database server which is well hardened and doesn't allow root access from elsewhere. It would be better to either (a) offer to use an ordinary database user (without access to database creation but with all privileges on the particular database to be used; or (b) let the user simply work it out manually without failing. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages moodle depends on: ii apache2-mpm-prefork [httpd] 2.2.22-3 ii dbconfig-common 1.8.47+nmu1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.42 ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.4.0-3 ii libjs-yui 2.8.2r1~squeeze-1 ii mysql-client 5.1.61-2 ii mysql-client-5.1 [mysql-client] 5.1.61-2 ii php5-cli 5.4.0-3 ii php5-curl 5.4.0-3 ii php5-gd 5.4.0-3 ii php5-mysql 5.4.0-3 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 Versions of packages moodle recommends: pn aspell <none> pn mimetex <none> pn php5-ldap <none> pn php5-xmlrpc <none> pn postgresql | mysql-server <none> Versions of packages moodle suggests: pn clamav <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/cron.d/moodle changed: */15 * * * * www-data [ -f /usr/share/moodle/admin/cli/cron.php ] && /usr/bin/php -f /usr/share/moodle/admin/cli/cron.php > /dev/null -- debconf information: moodle/pgsql/method: unix socket moodle/dbconfig-remove: * moodle/dbu_name: mudel * moodle/db_server: mysql-server * moodle/mysql/admin-user: root moodle/pgsql/manualconf: * moodle/pgsql/authmethod-user: password * moodle/db_host: bd1 * moodle/create_tables: * moodle/database-type: mysql moodle/dbconfig-reinstall: false * moodle/webserver: apache2 * moodle/dbconfig-install: true * moodle/remote/newhost: bd1 moodle/internal/reconfiguring: false moodle/notconfigured: * moodle/db/app-user: mudel * moodle/pgsql/authmethod-admin: ident moodle/internal/skip-preseed: false * moodle/remote/port: * moodle/mismatch: moodle/purge: false moodle/pgsql/admin-user: postgres * moodle/www: http://localhost/moodle * moodle/remote/host: bd1 * moodle/db/dbname: moodlefernandoborrajomillan moodle/install-error: abort * moodle/dba_name: root * moodle/mysql/method: tcp/ip moodle/pgsql/changeconf: false moodle/remove-error: abort * moodle/dbconfig-upgrade: true moodle/pgsql/no-empty-passwords: moodle/upgrade-backup: true moodle/passwords-do-not-match: moodle/db/basepath: moodle/upgrade-error: abort moodle/missing-db-package-error: abort -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
