Package: fusiondirectory
Version: 1.0.19-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrading my fusiondirectory installation from jessie (1.0.8.2-5)
to stretch (1.0.19-1) the package has become practically unusable.
(that's after adding workarounds for #854398 and ).

Been there, had that...

e.g. trying to edit anything, i get the following on saving:
LDAP operation failed!

[...]

no warning has been emitted when I upgraded from jessie to stretch.
esp. no NEWS have indicated that anything could possibly go wrong.

Indeed, this would have been a good idea. Sorry for that. The packaging was done last minute unfortunately, so such delays got lost while being "in a hurry".

there are some upstream notes in /usr/share/doc/fusiondirectory/docs/ about
upgrading, indicating that this will require quite a lot of
schema-changes and similar.
however, the upstream notes are very incremental (e.g. 1.0.8.1 ->
1.0.8.2) and do not make it easy to upgrade from jessie to stretch.

That incremental upgrade path is exactly your way to go. Been there, done that. Complained to upstream loudly on that (as it sucks IMHO).

since fusiondirectory is a package to manage core infrastructure (like
user databases and networking devices), extra should be taken to allow
smooth upgrades between releases.

Yes, I agree.

please fix this for the next point release (and please provide some
instructions for the 9.0-users on how to handle their broken
installations)

Will give it a shot when back at work next week.

PS: thanks for packaging fusiondirectory!

;-)

Mike
