confirmed in a clean dapper chroot ( pbuilder login ) same output as original poster

[Kai Kasurinen (kai-kasurinen)]

Thanks for the bug report.

I'm closing this bug because it has been fixed in Feisty.

 heartbeat (1.2.4-5) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Don't try and stop heartbeat in preinst on the first install
     (closes: #355806)

[Björn Felten (bjorn-felten)]

Isn't Feisty unstable/experimental?

I suggest you fix the bug in the latest stable dist, Edgy, as well.

[Kai Kasurinen (kai-kasurinen)]

(Ups) Fixed in Edgy. There is heartbeat 1.2.4-14build1 in Edgy (>=1.2.4-5).

[Björn Felten (bjorn-felten)]

Aptitude doesn´t seem to agree. This is what I get with an 'aptitude reinstall'. Sorry for the Swedish, but I hope you get the picture just the same.

(reopen) ominstallerade == reinstalled? Does pre- or postinstall fail? Or are those messages just only warnings? I can't reproduce this in Edgy chroot.

[Kai Kasurinen (kai-kasurinen)]

Those messages are just warnings (coming from init-script) and are informational message stating that you have to do something.

# /etc/init.d/heartbeat start
Heartbeat not configured: /etc/ha.d/ha.cf not found.
 Heartbeat failure [rc=1]. Failed.

/etc/ha.d/README.config says:
"You need three configuration files to make heartbeat happy,
and they all go in this directory."

[Björn Felten (bjorn-felten)]

Yes, 'ominstallerade' means reinstalled -- as in 'aptitude reinstall' . :)

And yes, they are only warning messages, but they warn me that Hearbeat did not start (or rather they did in previous dists). And since evmsn/evmsgui gives me an error #19 on setup_evms_plugin() in Linux_HA, I assume that EVMS does not work properly, but maybe I'm wrong?

Most other packages install default configs, or assist in making them, so that the program will at least start properly, shouldn't Heartbeat do that too? I've tried to copy the files mentioned in the README to /etc/ha.d/, but no go; then I get all kinds of other errors/warnings.

Have you tried a live install in order to try to reproduce the error?

[Kai Kasurinen (kai-kasurinen)]

Thanks for your comments. This does not appear to be a bug report as such. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise your question in the support tracker. <http://launchpad.net/support>

"As heartbeat is not controlled by debconf (yet) it will
not start until you configure it. Sample configurations
are available in /usr/share/doc/heartbeat" [1]

"For more info on Linux-HA, I recommend you read the Linux-HA web page.
It can be found at:
        http://linux-ha.org/" [2]
