[SRU] request: edgy:qpsmtpd fix for bug #72602

[enyc]

Binary package hint: qpsmtpd

This is a SRU-update proposal for ubuntu-edgy package "qpsmtpd" bug 72602.

The impact of the bug is that qpsmtpd on ubuntu-edgy will only work until system is rebooted, at which time qpsmtpd will not start until /var/run/qpsmtpd is manually recreated. Therefore, this very simple fix from ubuntu-feisty should be backported to make the package also usable on "stable" ubuntu-edgy.

This has been fixed in ubuntu-feisty between 0.32-4 and 0.32-4ubuntu1 in the same way.

The attached debdiff (qpsmtpd_0.32-3ubuntu1.debdiff) simply adds the 3 lines to the init-script and changes the version from "0.32-3" to "0.32-3ubuntu1".

I understand that for changing debian/, changing the files directly is better than using a dpatch, Hence this is a simple debdiff.

[enyc (enyc)]

This debdiff uses version 0.32-3ubuntu0.1~proposed1 in order to fit in with the new scheme of version-numbering that doesn't appear to be documented anywhere, definitely not on the
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU page!

looks good. +1.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Oh, and please set yourself as assignee for this bug report.

[Steve Kowalik (stevenk)]

Patch looks small, unobtrusive, which is great. +1 from me.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

+1

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Looks sane, +1.

0.32-3ubuntu0.1~proposed1 version "WorksForMe" ;-).

(tested on Ubuntu-edgy machine here, now using instead of qmail-smtyd-via-xinetd).
After rebooting system, I can still happily email in both directions etc. and all still works...
I have also shown that qpsmtpd can be stopped and started without errors.

[Sheer Pullen (sheer-panic)]

works for me.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Does not work for me.

I did not previously have qpsmtpd installed and so I was installing the proposed version from scratch. When setting up qpsmtpd I got the following warning:

adduser: Warning: that home directory does not belong to the user you are currently creating.

qpsmtpd did not run.

Attempting to start it manually after installation did not work either.

I'm not yet sure if this is another issue that needs to be reported or a problem with this fix.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

At this point, I think it likely that whatever problem I have is not related to this fix. I purged the proposed version and installed the standard Edgy version and had the same issue, so rather than does not work for me, I do not yet have an opinion on this fix. I'll file another bug once I understand what's going on.

Given the nature of this package, you need to
   "sudo dpkg-reconfigure qpsmtpd" before anything will work.

Also, the nature of this bug is that there is only ever a non-starting
   problem after reboot.
(i.e. configure qpsmtpd and get it to start, then reboot and
   notice it will no-longer start).

Hope that make sense ;-).

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Works for me.

Note that the need to do dpgk-reconfigure before the package will work at all is not mentioned in the docs that I can find, so I think that's a separate bug. I'll take care of that.

Accepted into edgy-updates. Next time, please just use bug tasks on 72602 instead of opening a new bug for each release, without even mentioning their numbers in the changelog.
