Hi, I am having problems getting 2.5.4 to install on Linux Mint 17.1 using the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.5
The installation starts ok, prompts for SYSDBA password, but then shows the following: # sudo apt-get install firebird2.5-super ........ Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-16) ... Setting up firebird2.5-common-doc (2.5.4.26856.ds4-1ubuntu1) ... Setting up firebird2.5-common (2.5.4.26856.ds4-1ubuntu1) ... Setting up libfbclient2:i386 (2.5.4.26856.ds4-1ubuntu1) ...

Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-16) ... Looking at the SYSDBA.password file, this hasn't been updated. Running 'dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.5-super' or 'gsec' to set the password results in the same error. I have previously installed 2.5.3 onto the same OS (different machine) using the same instructions and that worked perfectly. # ls -l /var/lib/firebird/2.5/system/security2.fdb -rw-rw---- 1 firebird firebird 802816 May 8 10:31 /var/lib/firebird/2.5/system/security2.fdb # uname -a Linux LinuxFB25 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:30:01 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux # lsb_release -d Description: Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca Thanks, Dave
