package: fai-quickstart
When trying to upgrade from fai 3.2.17 to 3.3.1,
and keeping the existing configs in /etc/fai
The installscript fails completely to install the package (even though,
if I already have fai-quickstart installed, users probably don't care
for fai-quickstart to copy the example configspace...) fai-quickstart
because of the changed config:
WARNING: The variable $FAI_CONFIGDIR is still defined in /etc/fai/fai.conf.
Please move it to /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf.
mkdir: missing operand
Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
dpkg: error processing fai-quickstart (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
fai-quickstart
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
rather, it's make-fai-nfsroot's job to notify the user that this missing
important variable is not set in it's config file (which, by the way, it
doesn't).
Anyway the fai-quickstart installscript should not try to use the
variable after it already realized it's missing and printing a WARNING
for the user.
Especially in a fai softupdate scenario this could lead to a stack of
multiple package installs to fail, even though later, in the config
task, the correct config is copied!
