Package: redmine
Version: 3.0~20140825-8~deb8u3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have installed several dozens of redmine instances interactively. I use a
similar database config for all installations: db type - mysql, access -
tcp/ip and the remote host name. All installations work fine. Recently I
tried to automate installation using debconf. I set
'redmine/instances/name_ins/default-language' in advance but "apt-get
install" or "dpkg-reconfigure" always clean this setting. If configuration
procedure performs "rake -s redmine:load_default_data" it always asks for a
language setting. It is not a problem for an interactive configuration but
automatic installation becomes imposible. I investigated file
/var/lib/dpkg/info/redmine.postinst. The variable 'DEFAULT_LANGUAGE' in
line 288: 'db_get redmine/instances/${lInstance}/default-language &&
DEFAULT_LANGUAGE="$RET"' always get an empty value. So line 298: 'bundle
exec rake -s redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV=$fRailsEnv
X_DEBIAN_SITEID="${lInstance}" REDMINE_LANG=$DEFAULT_LANGUAGE || true'
always asks for the language setting. I tried to modify
/var/lib/dpkg/info/redmine.postinst manually and set the variable
'DEFAULT_LANGUAGE' to a constant. In this case "dpkg-reconfigure" works
fine in non-interactive mode as well.
Probably problem is in line 93 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/redmine.config:
"db_input medium $questionLanguage || true". Because of db_input cannot be
performed in non-interactive mode and following do_go cleans appropriate
value. There is log:
-------------------------------------------------
+ db_input medium redmine/instances/default/default-language
+ _db_cmd INPUT medium redmine/instances/default/default-language
+ _db_internal_IFS=
+ IFS=
+ printf %s\n INPUT medium redmine/instances/default/default-language
+ IFS=
+ IFS=
read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET=30 question skipped
+ return 30
+ true
---------------------------------------------------
So I suggest to check a return value of do_input and don't perform do_go if
the value equivalent to "30"
