Description

Hello,

I just upgraded from foreman-1.1 to 1.2 using the deb.theforeman.org repository.

I get a nice problem with the dpkg --configure foreman process: the /var/lib/dpkg/info/foreman.postinst seems to be missing some important command, like "bundle update rails".

How to reproduce:
- be sure to get foreman-1.1 installed
- upgrade it
- you'll see an error for the dpkg --configure foreman (post-install instructions)

Workaround:
- go to /usr/share/foreman
- run bundle update rails (may take a while)
- run dpkg --configure -a

This corrected the foreman installation - it may be good to add this bundle command to the foreman.postinst file, like:

  cd /usr/share/foreman
+ bundle update rails
  if [ -f Gemfile.lock ]; then
    CMD="bundle update --local" 
  else
    CMD="bundle install --path ./vendor/ --local --no-prune" 
  fi

This may help other people wanting to update the foreman smoothly.

Cheers,

C.

I'll try to reproduce later this week, probably Friday, but it shouldn't be necessary

I'm assuming you're on Squeeze (Wheezy doesn't have 1.1 packages). I can't replicate this on Squeeze with your method, my exactly commands were:

# facter operatingsystemrelease
6.0.7
# apt-get install foreman=1.1.1+debian1
[finishes ok]
# apt-get install foreman-sqlite3=1.1.1+debian1
[finishes ok]
# vi /etc/default/foreman
[enable webrick]
# /etc/init.d/foreman start
[start webrick, web UI loads fine, version confirmed as 1.1-1]
# DEBUG=1 apt-get dist-upgrade
[finishes fine, UI confirms version is now 1.2.0]

I can only conclude there was something odd about your 1.1 install - can we close this, or is there more testing you'd like to try?

Hello Greg,

Hmm, you're probably right - I didn't install the 1.1 version (some colleague did it). Maybe there was some weird stuff.

I propose we close this report, as I'm on my side unable to provide more information about the (now migrated) 1.1 setup (it's a wheezy, there was the 1.1 on it some weeks/months ago).

Maybe someone else will hit this problem as well (hopefully not ;) ).

Cheers,

C.

Potentially a 1.1-wheezy-using-squeeze-packages setup or something else odd. Thanks for the clarification, closing this one.
