[Bug 800543] Re: Installing zabbix-frontend-php fails in noninteractive mode

[Dave Walker]

Uploaded to lucid-proposed, currently in the Unapproved queue awaiting
SRU processing.  Thanks Tom!

** Description changed:

  ## Issue
  
  * When installing zabbix-frontend-php in noninteractive mode the install
  fails to determine the database type
  
  ## Environment
  
  * Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) x86_64
  
  * zabbix-frontend-php & zabbix-server-mysql 1:1.8.1-1ubuntu1
  
  * Using preseeding and Puppet (which uses apt in noninteractive mode,
  DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive)
  
  ## Diagnostic Steps
  
  1. Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  
  2. Install mysql-server
  
  3. Preseed the zabbix-frontend-php & zabbix-server-mysql packages
  
  4. Install the zabbix packages via puppet or 'sudo
  DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql
  zabbix-frontend-php'
  
  5. See the installation fail:
  
  Setting up zabbix-frontend-php (1:1.8.1-1ubuntu1) ...
  sanity check failed for dbc_dbtype.
  error encountered :
  dbconfig-common can not determine the database type.
  dbconfig-common: zabbix-frontend-php configure: aborted.
  dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password
  dpkg: error processing zabbix-frontend-php (--configure):
-  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
+  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
  ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
  Errors were encountered while processing:
-  zabbix-frontend-php
+  zabbix-frontend-php
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
- 
  
  ## Additional Information
  
  The installation uses dbconfig-common (dbconfig-common_1.8.44 in Lucid)
  which fails much more gracefully when using Maverick (dbconfig-
  common_1.8.46)
  
  This was also mentioned on Puppet-users some time ago:
+ 
+ Regression potential should be considered low.  The patch has been cherry picked from a later version, and has been out in the wild for a while.
