[appliance] missing python-dnspython

[Peter Gervai]

Should have been installed I guess? :-) At least the module logs the related error message.

What module logs this message, where?

[Peter Gervai (grin)]

Apache log contains: [error] Could not load one of the supported DNS libraries (dnspython or pydns). SRV records will not be queried and you may need to set custom hostname/port for some servers to be accessible.

Repeatedly. :-)

This does not seem to have anything to with NAV, really. It seems to be
a case of this bug:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413457

I.e. some part of NAV happens to import the xmpp module, but I can
assure you it is not being used in web interface - it's more likely some
part of the web interface imports parts of the alertengine library,
causing xmpp to be pulled in at the same time.

The Debian bug report claims the bug was fixed by adding
python-dnspython to the list of recommended packages in the python-xmpp
package, but the problem with the virtual appliance seems to be that
packages are installed using the '--without-recommends' option to
apt-get.

fix here: https://nav.uninett.no/hg/stable/rev/9bf61c8656a5

[Morten Brekkevold (mbrekkevold)]

A new virtual package will be built on the next NAV release (expected tomorrow)
