Package: asterisk Version: 1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1 and: 1.6.2.0~dfsg~rc1-1 Justification: renders package unusable Severity: grave Tags: patch My patch is included below.
*** This was my first time that I tried to submit a bug. I got it wrong. I do not use email a lot either. I have had a sole email, an automated reply sitting in my inbox since my submission back in 05th October 2009. I have resubmitted this bug and patch to include the detail I had gleaned, in case it helps someone. I am learning how the bug reports system works, allbeit slowly. sorry for my delay. I am unsure whether to send to sub...@bugs.debian.org or attach to 552...@bugs.debian.org I will soon see from the effect. I know that both is wrong. I am learning. Sorry for any inconvieniance. *** An error occurred The following details are provided: E: asterisk: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Setting up asterisk (1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1) ... insserv: Service zaptel has to be enabled to start service asterisk insserv: exiting now! The configuration script is throwing a zaptel missing dependency. but zaptel is no more. I believe It should be Recommends: dahdi OR dahdi-linux. The changelog shows:- http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/p ... /changelog Debian Changelog asterisk (1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1) 2009 asterisk (1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1) unstable; urgency=low [ F L ] * New upstream release. * Remove init script's "zaptel-fix" action; there's no zaptel any more and was also lintian-buggy in its current form. * Install Zaptel-to-DAHDI.txt, explains the migration procedure from Zaptel to DAHDI and is therefore useful when upgrading from lenny. MY PATCH: I altered a line in file: /etc/init.d/astersisk From: # Required-Start: $local_fs zaptel To: # Required-Start: $local_fs dahdi dahdi-linux Then, # dpkg --configure --force-all asterisk # dpkg --status asterisk Package: asterisk Status: install ok installed <<========= There is more detailed information in my previous work on this issue at : http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44390 I have uninstalled and reinstalled and have identified this potential bug is also in asterisk 1.6.2.0~dfsg~rc1-1 . However I am having many other separate problems which I am diligently but ploddingly resolving. This stops me from testing asterisk quick enough to my satisfaction, to get this potential bug processed. My concern with my patch is, should I specify just one module; dahdi or dahdi-linux ? although specifying both does install asterisk with dahdi ok. but no sign in the dependancies shown below, of dahdi-linux. It depends on what you actually want. My next job is to strip out all the 96 sample configurations somehow, to make asterisk 1.6 useable for a newbie with starter books such as my book," Asterisk,the future of telephony." or the book to be published in January 2010 "Practical Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6: From Beginner to Expert" to allow me to operate asterisk further, and to test for the effectiveness of my patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages asterisk depends on: ii adduser 3.111 add and remove users and groups ii asterisk-config 1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~rc1-1 Configuration files for Asterisk ii asterisk-sounds-mai 1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~rc1-1 Core Sound files for Asterisk (Eng ii dahdi 1:2.2.0~rc3-1 utilities for using the DAHDI kern ii libasound2 1.0.21a-1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc-client2007b 8:2007b~dfsg-1.1+b1 c-client library for mail protocol ii libc6 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap2 1:2.16-5 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libcurl3 7.19.5-1.1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgmime-2.0-2a 2.2.22-4 MIME library ii libgsm1 1.0.13-1 Shared libraries for GSM speech co ii libiksemel3 1.2-4 C library for the Jabber IM platfo ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-2 OpenLDAP libraries ii liblua5.1-0 5.1.4-3 Simple, extensible, embeddable pro ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libnewt0.52 0.52.10-4 Not Erik's Windowing Toolkit - tex ii libogg0 1.1.4~dfsg-1 Ogg bitstream library ii libopenais2 0.83-1 Standards-based cluster framework ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libpq5 8.4.1-1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libpri1.4 1.4.10-1 Primary Rate ISDN specification li ii libradiusclient-ng2 0.5.6-1 Enhanced RADIUS client library ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-4+b1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libsnmp15 5.4.1~dfsg-12 SNMP (Simple Network Management Pr ii libspandsp1 0.0.5~pre4-1 Telephony signal processing librar ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex codec runtime library ii libspeexdsp1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex extended runtime library ii libsqlite0 2.8.17-6 SQLite shared library ii libss7-1 1.0.2-1 Signalling System 7 (ss7) library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-5 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libsybdb5 0.82-6 libraries for connecting to MS SQL ii libtiff4 3.9.1-1 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libtonezone2.0 1:2.2.0~rc3-1 tonezone library (runtime) ii libvorbis0a 1.2.0.dfsg-6 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc2 1.2.0.dfsg-6 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvpb0 4.2.42-1 Voicetronix telephony hardware use ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.7.4.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii unixodbc 2.2.11-20 ODBC tools libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime asterisk recommends no packages.
