Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.37
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When a database upgrade is performed, $dbc_dump_cmd failure makes the
postinst exit if 'set -e' is in effect.
creating database backup in
/var/cache/dbconfig-common/backups/request-tracker3.6_3.6.1-4.mysql.
dpkg: error processing request-tracker3.6 (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Catching a failure with dbc_upgrade_error() is easy, although still not
optimal because of the wording of the dbconfig-common/upgrade-error
template. I suppose a separate template for this would be overkill,
though.
Simple patch attached.
Cheers,
