Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dspam
dspam-3.6.8-5ubuntu1.2 fails running daily cronjob: /etc/cron.daily/libdspam7-drv-mysql: error: Found option without preceding group in config file: /var/run/libdspam7-drv-mysql.cron.passwd at line: 1 Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted the cronjob generates a .passwd file that should contain mysql password. if should look like this: [client] password=mypassword but it looks like: -e [client] password=mypassword so in the /etc/cron.daily/libdspam7-drv-mysql file there is a line generating this echo -e "[client]\npassword=$MYSQL_PASS" > "$MYSQLCONF_PASSWD" apparently -e also gets echoed for some reason. Removing -e generates a correct file _with_ \n interpreted as newline. this is on an up to date Gutsy server. ** Affects: dspam (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- dspam-3.6.8-5ubuntu1.2 cronjob fails for libdspam7-drv-mysql https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
