  • Bug#1108946: pnopaste: fails to install with debconf noninteractive fro

    From Lucas Nussbaum@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 8 13:50:01 2025
    Package: pnopaste
    Version: 1.8-3.1
    Severity: serious

    It results in a loop of:

    --------------------------->8
    Password mismatch

    The password and its confirmation do not match.

    The password and its confirmation do not match.
    --------------------------->8

    The behaviour is also strange when not using the noninteractive
    frontend: it asks for a "password confirmation" but did not ask for the password before (so it's not really a confirmation).

    Hello folks,

    IMHO the dbconfig setup in pnopaste looks fine and is simple. Is this maybe
    a problem with dbconfig itself?

    There could be of course, but I strongly doubt it: pnopaste is the only
    package with this failure pattern

    Yeah, I'm not convinced that this is a dbconfig-common bug. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/dbconfig-common/ch-develguide.html#s-depends suggests that pnopaste's dependencies aren't quite right, and this patch
    seems to fix it:

    diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control
    index fdc9644..d310b5a 100644
    --- a/debian/control
    +++ b/debian/control
    @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ Package: pnopaste

    + dbconfig-mysql | dbconfig-no-thanks,
    libcgi-pm-perl,
    libsyntax-highlight-engine-kate-perl,

    (This matches the setting of dbc_dbtypes in debian/pnopaste.config.
    There might be other possible fixes involving setting some more dbc_* variables, but this seemed like the simplest approach.)
