2008-09-11 15:54:55 shilbert description On MS Windows when running the upgrade-db scripts a password is needed to connect to the database. Different from Linux there is an very old python bug that prevents the password to be asked for on MS Windows. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2002-June/012101.html The error is triggered by bootstrap_gm_db_system.py on line 181. Supposedly some garbage is in the password buffer , it gets accepted and passed to gmPG2 which will happily refuse it. Please check if a workaround for MS Windows can be provided.
