[Bill Allombert]

Package: mediawiki1.7
Version: 1.7.1-1
Severity: serious

Hello Mediawiki Maintenance Team,

There is an error when attempting to install mediawiki1.7-math:
Setting up mediawiki1.5 (1.5.8-1) ...

Setting up mediawiki1.7 (1.7.1-1) ...
Generating AdminSettings.php with given account..
No LocalSettings.php file has been found for mediawiki1.5...
dpkg: error processing mediawiki1.7 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mediawiki1.7-math:
 mediawiki1.7-math depends on mediawiki1.7; however:
  Package mediawiki1.7 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing mediawiki1.7-math (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

(This is reproducible by doing 
apt-get install mediawiki1.5 mediawiki1.7-math 
in a clean debootstrap'ed chroot)

Cheers,
