Package: sympa
Version: 6.0.1+dfsg-4+squeeze1
Severity: normal
First we installed sympa using the default configuration. Afterward we
reconfigured the package following the configuration dialog and tried
to setup a mysql database using tcp/ip.
This failed because the address of the mysql server is not put into the
db_host variable in /etc/sympa/sympa.conf. The postinst script of the
sympa package uses $dbc_hostname, which appears not to be set
anywhere (should use $dbc_server instead).
To workaround the problem, we reconfigured the package injecting the
$dbc_hostname variable manually:
dbc_hostname="www.example.com" dpkg-reconfigure sympa
