Hi again, this is even funnier. On the machine, I have:
# fgrep Value: /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat Value: Value: Value: Value: Value: So apparently, it lost *all* password information. # ls -l /etc/redmine/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Dec 12 17:36 default In /etc/redmine/default/database.yml there _is_ set a password, but apparently not the correct one. And finally: when I wrote the bugreport, *after* the upgrade that failed to configure, Redmine was still running, until I restarted Apache, now it 500s, which is pretty much expected, so the database.yml *was* changed and it had an older, nonzero, value that actually worked. Approximate order in which I did things: apt-get install redmine redmine-pgsql [ config fails due to missing postgresql server ] apt-get install postgresql [ redmine asks for half(!) the config values again ] [ redmine works ] apt-get --purge dist-upgrade [ redmine asks for nothing but fails to upgrade ] bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-314 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Boris Esser, Sebastian Mancke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
