Package: couchdb Version: 0.11.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze README.Debian says "the database directory is partitioned by the CouchDB release number of the database format in use" and "Before you upgrade to a new version [...] you should export [...] and import the data into the new database after the upgrade".
This is quite awkward: no prior warning when upgrading, and the old binaries aren't here anymore after the upgrade is done. A quick, short-term minimal fix would be warning the user about the need for data migration, offering to abort the upgrade, and pointing to the dump/load procedure or tools. In the long run, the dump/load operations should probably be automated by the package. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages couchdb depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii erlang-base [erlang-abi- 1:13.b.4-dfsg-4 Erlang/OTP virtual machine and bas ii erlang-crypto 1:13.b.4-dfsg-4 Erlang/OTP cryprographic modules ii erlang-inets 1:13.b.4-dfsg-4 Erlang/OTP Internet clients and se ii erlang-ssl 1:13.b.4-dfsg-4 Erlang/OTP implementation of SSL ii erlang-tools 1:13.b.4-dfsg-4 Erlang/OTP various tools ii erlang-xmerl 1:13.b.4-dfsg-4 Erlang/OTP XML tools ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcurl3 7.20.0-3 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libicu42 4.2.1-3 International Components for Unico ii libjs-jquery 1.4.2-2 JavaScript library for dynamic web ii libmozjs2d 1.9.1.8-5 The Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScrip ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mawk 1.3.3-15 a pattern scanning and text proces ii procps 1:3.2.8-8 /proc file system utilities couchdb recommends no packages. couchdb suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
