akdump throws NPE on Debian reinstall of server

[Louis Li]

This is on an Ubuntu EC2 instance that I used to test installing from the repositories. I can't remember for sure, but I think akdump was working correctly before the first time that I tested (on server r1892, when the first CE packages were put on the website). I ran sudo apt-get install akiban-server -y and overwrote the existing install, which stopped the server, reinstalled, then started again.

ubuntu=> create table customers (id int, telephone int);
CREATE TABLE
ubuntu=> insert into customers (id, telephone) values (0, 12345), (1, 23456), (2, 23421);
INSERT 0 3
ubuntu=> exit
ubuntu-> \q

DumpClient knows uses the grouping_constraints system table, which recently changed.

Same failure from its own unit test.

Ack. We might want to add client-build to the downstream of server-build (under end-to-end test I suppose).
