package moodle 1.9.4.dfsg-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade:

Hey!

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug :).

Would you mind giving a bit more detail about how you produced this bug. Obviously you installed/upgraded but using what method? A bit more detail would be great :).

Also - I translated the error message as:
"sub-process the post-installation script returned the error status of output 2"
Can anyone confirm that translation?

Cheers :),
Ben

Hello:

Same thing happened to me in my Ubuntu 9.04. I was installing with Synaptic both moodle and moodle-book. This is the error code I got:

E: moodle: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: moodle-book: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Same thing happened to me in my Ubuntu 9.04

Same thing here, I selected the moodle, moodle-book and moodle-debian-edu-theme in synaptic. The details showed on the progress window showed

subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
moodle-book: dependency problems - leaving unconfigure

Synaptic threw me an error about corrupted package cache after reporting this error.

Any other info I can provide?

The program simply failed to install. I will try again.

All of the other bugs seemed to have the same problem as this one, so I'm marking them as duplicates and confirming this one:

Nominated for SRU for Jaunty. This bug causes installation to fail for users who do not already have PostgreSQL or MySQL configured first. This bug was fixed in Karmic with 1.9.4.dfsg-0ubuntu4 by having moodle depend on either PostgreSQL or MySQL. Also we are moving debconf to depends instead of pre-depends as pre-depends is heavily discouraged.

TEST CASE:
To test bug:
Install moodle. During installation, select postgresql (as that is default). Moodle installation will fail with the error "package moodle 1.9.4.dfsg-0ubuntu1.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" If moodle were setup correctly, you would be able to access the software by visiting http://localhost/moodle/ in your web browser.

To test fix:
Purge moodle php5-pgsql php5-xmlrpc postgresql postgresql-8.3 postgresql-client-8.3 postgresql-client-common postgresql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.0 php5-mysql
Install patched moodle.
Installation should complete and http://localhost/moodle/ should work fine.

There is no expected regression potential.

Nominated for SRU for Hardy. This bug causes installation to fail for users who do not already have PostgreSQL or MySQL configured first. This bug was fixed in Karmic with 1.9.4.dfsg-0ubuntu4 by having moodle depend on either PostgreSQL or MySQL. Hardy didn't pre-depend on debconf so there is no need to change that here.

There is no expected regression potential.

sponsored hardy/jaunty.

This is fixed in karmic.

Accepted moodle into hardy-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

When using moodle 1.8.2-1ubuntu4.3 from hardy-proposed with PostgreSQL, everything is fine. However, attempting to select MySQL during the configuration questions will fail if MySQL is not already installed on the box. Would it be possible to only list DB backends during configuration that are already installed to avoid this issue?

This bug was fixed in the package moodle - 1.8.2-1ubuntu4.3

Thanks. Releasing hardy, keeping v-needed tag for Jaunty.

Anyone who can test the proposed package? If not, the proposed update will be removed again. Thanks!

This update has been in jaunty-proposed for half a year or longer, without any testing feedback. I removed the jaunty-proposed package again.
