dependent package 'cockpit-389-ds' lacks content

[Andreas Bock]

What happend:
After installing the server and afterwards the '389-ds' package including all dependencies, Cockpit lacks the plugins entry "389 Directory Server" in the Web-GUI.

How to reproduce:
I installed Ubuntu server 22.04 multiple times from scratch. Either as minimal but althought as default installation does not help. After lots of testing and reinstalling the server I found that all files from '/usr/share/cockpit/389-console' are missing for the jammy and kinetic package 'cockpit-389-ds'. If one compares the package content to focal one will see the difference.

What I have done to resolve the issue:
$ wget https://github.com/389ds/389-ds-base/archive/389-ds-base-2.0.15.tar.gz
$ tar xzf 389-ds-base-2.0.15.tar.gz
$ cd ~/389-ds-base-2.0.15/src/cockpit/389-console
$ sh ./buildAndRun.sh # Stop the script after downloading and compling with ^C
$ sudo cp ~/389-ds-base-2.0.15/src/cockpit/389-console/dist/* /usr/share/cockpit/389-console

If you have any further questions feel free to contact me.

caused by upstream tarball dropping prebuilt files after migrating to github

fixed in lunar by version 2.3.1+dfsg1-1

Thanks @Timo for the fix. Actually I can't test it, because I'm on Jammy/22.04, like the bug reporter, too. Will this fix be a backported to the Jammy version?

I cannot test it anymore as we switched to AlmaLinux.

Best regards, Andreas
