Hi,
I just installed your firebird2-classic-server from standard debian apt
service by this command:
aptitude install firebird2-classic-server firebird2-utils-classic
firebird2-dev
The instalation was succesful, except that thing, the firebord does not
start :-)
I found, that the /etc/init.d/firebird2 tests the presence and
executability of the manager file (/usr/lib/firebird2/bin/fbmgr.bin),
which is not present, so it exists. I think, the manager file is missing
by mistake.
If I purge the classic server and install the super server (using the
similar command), everything works normaly.
However, the init script exits with code 0, even if the manager file is
not found or executable (evaluating this command: '[ -x $MANAGER ] ||
exit 0'). Exit code 0 usualy means "No errors", which is not true in
this case. Package managers and many other programs read that code and
bind consequent actions on it (I am sure you know it). I think, the init
script should return a non-zero number, when there is some error.
