Hmm. I don't know if this is a user mistake or an Ubuntu specific problem. But I fail to reproduce this on Debian Sid with aptitude purge and reinstallation after this. During purge dbconfig-common asks, weither the database should be removed or not. What did you answer to that question?
You wrote: > Then I removed + purged it (I removed the database by hand). The last part is making me think that you answered that you like to keep the database. In this case I can't see a bug. The problem with this is, that if you say 'no' here and delete the database afterwards, that dbconfig-common cannot know that you deleted the database manually. It therefore does not ask database setup questions again, because it thinks that the database is *already* setup. ** Changed in: mantis (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- on reinstallation the database is not recreated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292217 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
