Package: apt Version: 0.7.7 Hi!
Looks like changes in in apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.h and apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc from 0.7.6 to 0.7.7 breaks ejabberd and yaws start from postinst scripts. Specifically: when I run 'apt-get install ejabberd' or 'apt-get install --reinstall ejabberd' (with apt 0.7.7 and newer) it reports: Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... 14821 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace ejabberd 1.1.4-5 (using .../ejabberd_1.1.4-5_i386.deb) ... Stopping jabber server: ejabberd already stopped. Unpacking replacement ejabberd ... Setting up ejabberd (1.1.4-5) ... Starting jabber server: ejabberd. Which is fine. But after apt-get finishes the work, ejabberd daemon disappears: # ps xa|grep ejabberd 26467 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep ejabberd Using apt 0.7.6 and older, I get the same output from apt but: # ps xa|grep ejabberd 26499 pts/0 Rl 0:01 /usr/lib/erlang/erts-5.5.5/bin/beam -- -root /usr/lib/erlang -progname erl -- -home /var/lib/ejabberd -sname ejabberd -pa /usr/lib/ejabberd/ebin -s ejabberd -kernel inetrc "/etc/ejabberd/inetrc" -ejabberd config "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg" log_path "/var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log" -sasl sasl_error_logger {file,"/var/log/ejabberd/sasl.log"} -mnesia dir "/var/lib/ejabberd" -noshell -noshell -noinput 26506 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep ejabberd Which means ejabberd is running. The same successful result I get if simply use dpkg instead of apt-get. aptitude works similar to apt-get. I suspect that apt doesn't like the way erlang detaches from a controlling terminal. When I rolled back changes in apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.h and apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc apt-get 0.7.7 became working again. -- Sergei Golovan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
