Package: geneweb
Version: 5.02~cvs20091031-3
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: broken upgrades from earlier versions
If one of the databases in /var/lib/geneweb has spaces in its name,
the package's postinst script will fail.
The attached postinst file fixes that problem. Until I update packages
in lenny, users affectedd by this bug can just replace
/var/lib/dpkg/info/geneweb.postinst by it and run dpkg-reconfigure to
complete the installation.
This bug was fixed in 5.02~cvs20091031-4. I open it lately so that
there is a reference to it in the BTS. I will try to upload a fixed
package to stable-proposed-updates in order to fix lenny.
