Subject: wwwconfig-common: pgsql-exec.sh fails to detect failure

Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 05:10:58 +1100

Package: wwwconfig-common
Version: 0.0.44
Severity: normal

Hi,

While debugging a failed installation of Drupal I had to investigate
pgsql-exec.sh

Here are the relevant line (I had modified pgsql-exec.sh to not
redirect /dev/null):

+++ eval psql -U drupal ''\''-d'\''' ''\''drupal'\''' ''\''-f'\'''
''\''/usr/share/drupal/database/database.pgsql'\'''
++++ psql -U drupal -d drupal -f /usr/share/drupal/database/database.pgsql
psql: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "drupal"
+++ rm -rf /tmp/tmp.r2htGb
+++ HOME=/home/anand
++ status=exec

psql has clearly failed, yet ther script has returned 'exec'.

If you try this manually:

postgres@eve:~$ psql -U drupal -d drupal -f /usr/share/drupal/database/database.pgsql
psql: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "drupal"
postgres@eve:~$ echo $?
2

So, pgsql-exec should be checking the return code and indicating
failure in this case.

Thanks,
Anand

I agree. In what way do you think it should indicate failure?

Patch is of course welcome.
