torque-scheduler prints errors during package configuration

[Christian Hudon]

When installing the torque-scheduler package, the following messages were printed out during the configure stage of the package installation:

Unpacking torque-scheduler (from .../torque-scheduler_2.1.8+dfsg-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up torque-scheduler (2.1.8+dfsg-0ubuntu1) ...
 * Starting Torque scheduler: Can not open file: sched_config: No such file or directory
Warning: can not open holidays file, assuming 24hr primetime: No such file or directory
Error opening file dedicated_time: No such file or directory
Warning: resource group file error, fair share will not work: No such file or directory

Maybe the postinst script needs some polish....

Just installed torque (2.3.6+dfsg-0ubuntu3) karmic, and still see this problems when trying to start up the torque-scheduler service.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04. How do I fix the bug?

[Brian Norris (computersforpeace)]

This is still a problem in 2.3.6+dfsg-0ubuntu3 on 10.04. Just because there's some changelog data about a "fix" doesn't mean it was actually fixed...can anyone help?

Try installing the packages from maverick, the old packages in Ubuntu are an abandoned branch and we can't really fix them.
