Failure during Upgrade to Bareos 17.2.4 on Debian Stretch

[Jens Grüntjes]

Hi all,

I have a problem during the upgrade on a Debian Stretch system.

The upgrade fails like this:

Reading package lists... Done

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded.
4 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

I guess the problem is in the line "dbc_dbuser=10 bareos-database-common/db/app-user doesn't exist." Obviously the user nae is wrong. I tried to change the value in the file /etc/dbconfig-common/bareos-database-common.conf but this had no effect.

Can someone help me?

are that really dots and nothing else after the "="?

> dbc_upgrade=.
> dbc_remove=.
> dbc_dbtype=.
> dbc_dbuser=10 bareos-database-common/db/app-user doesn't exist.

as you said, this looks terribly wrong.

> dbc_dbpass=.
> dbc_dballow=.
> dbc_dbadmin=.
> dbc_dbadmpass=.
> dbc_dbserver=.
> dbc_dbport=.
> dbc_dbname=bareosdatabasecommon.

this is also wrong.

What else have you done after changing the file? Have you called "dpkg
--configure" or something there like?

Please provide your /etc/dbconfig-common/bareos-database-common.conf.
From what I see, this all looks fishy.

Have you modified it in before the update?

regards,
Jörg

I did nothing after changing the file, just "apt-get -f install"

I attached the file to this post. All parameters are empty strings, so this looks indeed strange.

No, I modified it after the upgrade failed.

Yesterday I realized that the repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bareos.list was pointing at deb http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/latest/Debian_8.0/ /

I changed that to Debian_9.0 but after apt-get update && apt-get upgrade the packages were reinstalled but the same error occurred. After that I decided to completely remove (nor purge) all bareos packages. I purged dbconfig-common.

After that I re-installed all the bareos packages. During installation I decided to install the database via dbconfig-common (the installer realized that there was a database installed for bareos before). The installation then proceeded without errors, an upgrade of the database was apparently made (a snippet from the installation):

I unfortunately don't know what caused the problems but at least bareos is working again.
