Package: postgrey Version: 1.32-3 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1 "makes package to buggy to release"
This looks to be an incidental fault affecting postgrey, but the serious consequence is that postgrey refuses to start. What seems to have happened is that on the recent system upgrade libberkeleydb-perl (a package upon which postgrey relies) was upgraded to version 0.38-1. This version moved from db4.6 to db4.7, which seem to be mutually incompatible formats causing postgrey to fail instantly with postgrey: FATAL: ERROR: can't create DB environment: No such file or directory (dbdir: /var/lib/postgrey uid/gid: 121,121) because it can no longer read the database files in /var/lib/postgrey The only solution to this appears to be to dump the postgrey databases before the upgrade and to reform them after (or simply to remove all the old files losing the accumulated data). I'm open to this being a severe bug in libberkeleydb-perl either since it is the root cause, but I think posgrey will still have to acquire the dump and restore package scripts to fix it. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: hppa (parisc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-parisc Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages postgrey depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.25 Debian configuration management sy ii libberkeleydb-perl 0.38-1 use Berkeley DB 4 databases from P ii libnet-dns-perl 0.65-1 Perform DNS queries from a Perl sc ii libnet-server-perl 0.97-1 An extensible, general perl server ii perl 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii ucf 3.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages postgrey recommends: ii libdigest-sha1-perl 2.11-2+b1 NIST SHA-1 message digest algorith ii libnet-rblclient-perl 0.5-2 Queries multiple Realtime Blackhol ii libparse-syslog-perl 1.10-1 Perl module for parsing syslog ent ii postfix 2.5.5-1.1 High-performance mail transport ag postgrey suggests no packages. -- debconf information: postgrey/1.32-3_changeport: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
