Bug#372881: phppgadmin does not configure apache2 properly

[Dennis Hoppe]

Package: phppgadmin
Version: 4.0.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #372881


hi there, 

i am using debian etch and phppgadmin does not configure apache2 properly.
it depends on apache2 but it will install apache-common. so it creates
the following directories:

  /etc/apache/conf.d/php4.conf
  /etc/apache/conf.d/phppgadmin -> /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf

by the way, i am using libapache2-mod-php5 and phppgadmin installs
libapache-mod-php4. maybe this is an issue with the dependencies. 

with kindly regards

Bug#734080: Symlink should point to current netinst.iso

[Dennis Hoppe]

Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.1.13
Severity: whishlist

Hello,

i am working a lot with Packer [1] to build images for VirtualBox or
VMware Fusion, which will be used with Vagrant [2].

It would be great, if you could create a symlink which points to the
current netinst.iso. For example:

http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/release/current/amd64/iso-cd/netinst.iso
-> debian-7.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso

Otherwise we have to update our Vagrant configs, after each point release
of Debian.

Best regards,

Dennis

Bug#704048: Multiple processes, after disabling collectdmon

[Dennis Hoppe]

Package: collectd
Version: 4.10.1-1+squeeze2
Severity: normal

Hello, 

i have disabled collectdmon at /etc/default/collectd (USE_COLLECTDMON=0),
because i would like to handle this via the package monit. 

After restarting collectd via /etc/init.d/collectd restart, i have had
multiple processes of collectd and the collectdmon was not stopped:

dho@appelbaum:~$ ps waux | grep collectd
root  9442  0.0  0.0   5916   332 ?Ss   09:53   0:00

/etc/collectd/collectd.conf
root  9443  0.6  0.1 284560  3192 ?Sl   09:53   0:32 collectd -C 
/etc/collectd/collectd.conf -f

dho  19111  0.0  0.0   9616   968 pts/0S+   11:16   0:00 grep 
--color=auto collectd

I think the PID should be detected somehow, instead of parsing the config file. 
Otherwise the function d_stop() is looking for the wrong PID file.

Hello,

at the config file "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default" the directory
"/var/www/nginx-default" is defined as root directory, but the package
did not create this directory including the files "50x.html" and

Furthermore, i think you should enable the redirect for the error pages by

Well, putting anyting in /var/www/ is not suitable according to Debian Policy.


thanks for the info. I thought this must work the same way like 
"apache2", but there are the default files comming from 
"/usr/share/apache2/default-site" or "/usr/share/apache2/error".

Bug#711859: gearman-job-server: Parameter --listen should be changed

[Dennis Hoppe]

Package: gearman-job-server
Version: 0.33-2
Severity: important

Hello Stig,

i think the default value for the parameter "--listen" should be changed
from "127.0.0.1" to "localhost". Otherwise the binary "gearman_top" will
show the message "No queues found".

I think this has something todo with IPv6 (127.0.0.1 != localhost).
According to the file "/etc/hosts" localhost will be solved correctly
for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Bug#693845: ruby-hiera shouldn't recommend mcollective or puppet

Hello Matthaus,

i can not follow your argumentation. There is no dependency or
recommendation for the packages "mcollective" or "puppet".

vagrant@pclient2:~$ sudo aptitude show ruby-hiera

Beschreibung: Light weight hierarcical data store
 ruby-hiera is a simple pluggable hierarchical database. It can be used
to store various information and therefor is a good fit for the
 representation of infrastructure information. It can be used to
querying multiple data backends e.g. YAML or Puppet.
Homepage: https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera/

There is just a recommendation for the packages "mcollective-common" and
"puppet-common".

Because of the following options, you need those packages to be able to
collect facts via Mcollective or Puppet.

vagrant@pclient2:~$ hiera --help
Usage: hiera [options] key [default value] [variable='text'...]

The default value will be used if no value is found for the key. Scope
variables
will be interpolated into %{variable} placeholders in the hierarchy and in
returned values.

Bug#432686: group name

[Dennis Hoppe]

Subject: gosa: group name
Package: gosa
Version: 2.5.6-2.1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello Cajus,

if i use smbldap-tools in the background of GOsa it will create the
following groups.

- Account Operators
- Backup Operators
- Domain Admins
- Domain Computers
- Domain Guests
- Domain Users
- Print Operators
- Replicators

If i want to edit some group settings, i am getting an error message
because the group name is not lowercase. So it is impossible to make
some changes or edit the permissions via ACL.

Regards,

Dennis

Bug#476764: metche: Segmentation fault in line 76

[Dennis Hoppe]

Hello Jérémy,

i have had the same problem at one of my hosts and was able to reproduce
the error above.

Metche follows the symlinks at "/etc/postgresql/8.2/main" and try to
report every difference via email. But one of my colleagues has disabled
the cron job, two months ago. The consequence is a 2.1 GB large file at
"/root/sent" which could not be handled by mutt.

I tried to set a new stable state by running "/usr/sbin/metche
stabilize", but nothing happened. So i moved the files at
"/var/lib/metche" and executed "/usr/sbin/metche cron".

Now everything seems to be fine, but maybe you should realize something
like a size check.

Package: nginx-light
Version: 0.8.54-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello Jose,

not everyone is using "nginx" as mail proxy etc. So it is a great idea
to split the package into "nginx-light" and "nginx-full". But i think
"nginx-light" could use one more module. It would be perfect, if you
could enable the ssl support.

In my case i am using "nginx" as proxy for "puppet" and "mongrel".

Package: debian-installer

Hello,

i have added the following lines to the file "isolinux/txt.cfg", but the
Debian Installer ignores the hostname parameter.

append  auto=true priority=critical vga=791

After the installation the hostname is set to "unassigned-hostname".

This Problem only exists with the current lenny release (5.0.7). It
worked with earlier releases and the daily squeeze build.

unfortunately that is not enough. The parmeter "d-i

i am using the file "debian-multi_5.0.7.iso" from one of the official
Debian mirrors and have not changed the initrd. I only modified the file
"isolinux/txt.cfg" to choose a specific preseed config.

Of course. Here ist my little preseed config. But exact the same file
worked with Debian 5.0.6 and also works with Debian 6.x.x.

During the whole installation process the file "target/etc/hostname"
hast the content "unassinged-hostname" and the dhcp of virtualbox does
not offer any hostnames.

i think there is a litte misunderstanding, here.

My "preseed" config works, because it already includes the parameter
"keyboard-configuration/variant select Deutschland". You asked me, if
there are any problems when i only use the parameter
"keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select de". In my tests the parameter
"keyboard-configuration/variant select Deutschland" was necessary.

If you like, i can retry the installation with and without the
concerning parameter and send you the logs.

my mistake. The file above is based on my own naming convention. I used
the following URL.

i did some tests and used the daily and rc2 iso of squeeze, but i am
always getting asked for the keyboard layout.

I have attached the config, a screenshot and a part of the syslog.

i am using the following two images:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/multi-arch/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-i386-netinst.iso

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_rc2/i386/iso-cd/debian-squeeze-di-rc2-i386-netinst.iso

I also added the following line to "isolinux/txt.cfg" and remastered the
image to save some typing.

Bug#488270: create /root/Changelog at postinst time when "Single changelog file" is selected

[Dennis Hoppe]

Hello,

after a default installation of Debian 5.0.x the debconf priority is set 
to high. But metche will only ask these questions with an debconf 
prirority of medium.


So the most users will never see these questions and metche defines 
CHANGELOG_FILE as default, which is missing after the installation.


I think you should set the default to "No changelog monitoring" at the 
"debian/templates". Otherwise the package should create the file, but 
not underneath "/root". Maybe "/etc/metche/changelog" or 
"/etc/metche/history" is more usefull.

Bug#554506: cryptsetup: unable to find root volume

[Dennis Hoppe]

I had the same problem with a new installation of debian sqeeze. Even if 
i recreate the missing directory "/dev/disk/by-uuid" and the symlinks 
for the lvm and crypto devices, it does not work.


Only the change from uuid to device names at the file "/etc/crypttab" 
worked for me. I do not know, why you want to use the uuid, if even the 
file "/etc/fstab" is not using them.

Bug#627881: Duplicate cronjob

[Dennis Hoppe]

Package: apticron

Severity: normal

Hello,

the current package of apticron is creating two different cronjobs
during the installation. In my case the first cronjob was executed at
5:20 and the second one at 6:25.

In previous versions of apticron the cronjob was generated, randomly.
Why do you want use a cronjob at "/etc/cron.daily/"? This can not be
good for the load of the debian mirrors.
