I recently encountered a potentail bug involving openwebmail and mysql-server. I wanted to know if anyone else could reproduce it.
Result: Install openwebmail and modifyting DB_File as per directions in openwebmail and then installing mysql-server will prevent mysql-server from starting. Expected Result: Openwebmail should not interfere with mysql-server. Repro: Install openwebmail. Mody DB_File as per openwebmail directions. (see below) Install mysql-server. Start mysql-server. Mysql-server will not start, and does not give error. Remove change from DB_File. Remove mysql-server. Reinstall mysql-server. Mysql-server starts correctly. Package Information: Inst openwebmail (2.21-3 Debian:testing Inst mysql-server (4.0.16-2 Debian:testing) Openwebmail post install directions: /usr/share/doc/openwebmail/readme.txt I am assuming you need to add the listed line of code in DB_File.pm, if it does not exist. ------ 2. it checks if the dbm system uses DB_File.pm by default and will suggest a necessary patch to DN_File.pm, you may see output like ------------------------------------------------------------- Please modify /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach/DB_File.pm by adding $arg[3] = 0666 unless defined $arg[3]; before the following text (about line 247) # make recno in Berkeley DB version 2 work like recno in version 1 ------
