Kolab 16 on Debian - upgrade error

[Gelpi Andrea]

Hi,
today I upgrade my installation of a kolab 16 on debian 8 using:

aptitude update
aptitude upgrade

The roundcube upgrade changed also the config file

/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php

After the update roudcube said it cannot contact the db any more.

I've replaced the config file with the old one and now roundcube is
working as before.

Is that a known problem or I did something wrong?

Thanks

Same here. I didn't dig further into it but it seems the new config changes some storage keys which renders roundcube unable to read old stored secrets!?

Second: the whole local config was removed / replaced with some stale default. No SQL Password, LDAP, etc.
"setup-kolab roundcube" should be able to repair this one.

Yep, the situation has been like this for quite some time: roundcubemail
includes a bunch of default configuration files and the end user must be
careful not to have their Kolab-generated configuration overwritten on every
upgrade.

But APT *did* ask politely before overwriting the file, defaulting to "no",
didn't it? ;-)

That said, I don't really see a striking reason for us to ship a default
configuration file in the first place if that file subsequently gets
overwritten by "setup-kolab". So we might as well drop it from the package, or
we could rename it to something like "config.inc.php.default".

Any strong opinions? :-)

Best regards,
Christoph
