Subject: nagios-mysql will not replace deleted config file /etc/nagios/database.cfg

Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 16:09:13 -0600

Package: nagios-mysql
Version: 1.4-3

I'm using Debian 4.0-r1 for Sparc.

I hand deleted /etc/nagios/database.cfg at some point.  Trying to 
re-install everything with:
apt-get --purge remove nagios-mysql
apt-get install nagios-mysql

Gives this output (note line 10 from the bottom "Not replacing deleted 
config file"):

I was able to reproduce this on a fresh net-install of Etch on i386.

apt-get install mysql-server
apt-get install nagios-mysql
rm /etc/nagios/database.cfg
apt-get --purge remove nagios-mysql
apt-get install nagios-mysql

I've also tried 'dpkg-reconfigure nagios-mysql" with the same result.

People normally(?) solve a removed config file by doing "apt-get --purge 
remove <pkgname>" and then "apt-get install <pkgname>" but this does not 
work with nagios-mysql.

hi scott,

you can get rid of the problem by 
running "ucf --purge /etc/nagios/database.cfg".  you're encountering the 
problem because the file is a ucf-managed file and it's not being properly 
purged from the ucf database at package purge time.  if you manually remove 
the file this is the expected behaviour, but it is indeed a bug that package 
purge and reinstall still has the problem.

Version: 2:1.4-3.2+rm

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/444076 in Debian BTS
against the package nagios-mysql. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/464774. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
