[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#745551: postinst does not update the connection string in nova.conf when installing or reconfiguring

[Ronny Aasen]

Package: nova-common
Version: 2014.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


When installing or reconfiguring nova-common. The postinst fails to find the correct entry in nova.conf to update the database connection string.

It seems that the default configfile /usr/share/nova-common/nova.conf have added a [database] section so the command
"pkgos_dbc_postinst /etc/nova/nova.conf DEFAULT sql_connection nova $@" at line 704 in  /var/lib/dpkg/info/nova-common.postinst
failes to find the strings in the default section; change the line into
"pkgos_dbc_postinst /etc/nova/nova.conf database sql_connection nova $@"
  and you can run dpkg-reconfigure nova-common to generate the correct connection string.


this bug is similar to the closed bug #744761 ( https://bugs.debian.org/744761 )

kind regards
Ronny Aasen
