Package: mediawiki Version: 1:1.15.5-2squeeze4 Severity: normal An HTTP request to the Special:Import page on a freshly installed mediawiki package (squeeze and wheezy versions) leads to the following PHP error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method User::isAllowedAny() in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/specials/SpecialImport.php on line 59 A quick look at the source confirms that the "User" class has indeed no method of that name in Version 1.15.5. However, this method seems to appear in newer versions of mediawiki. Replacing the file SpecialImport.php by the original upstream version (from release 1.15.5) resolves this error. I suspect that this bug was introduced by a Debian security update of that file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-028stab092.1 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mediawiki depends on: ii apache2 2.2.16-6+squeeze6 Apache HTTP Server metapackage ii apache2-mpm-prefork [h 2.2.16-6+squeeze6 Apache HTTP Server - traditional n ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii mime-support 3.48-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii php5 5.3.3-7+squeeze8 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php5-mysql 5.3.3-7+squeeze8 MySQL module for php5 Versions of packages mediawiki recommends: ii mysql-server-5.1 [mysq 5.1.61-0+squeeze1 MySQL database server binaries and ii php5-cli 5.3.3-7+squeeze8 command-line interpreter for the p Versions of packages mediawiki suggests: pn clamav <none> (no description available) pn mediawiki-math <none> (no description available) pn memcached <none> (no description available) ii php5-gd 5.3.3-7+squeeze8 GD module for php5 -- debconf information: mediawiki/webserver: apache2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
