Item12834: Debian package foswiki-ldapcontrib now depends on DB_File::Lock (libdb-file-lock-perl)

Updated foswiki-ldapngplugin and foswiki-ldapcontrib last week instead of the wiki, users get this error message:

Foswiki detected an internal error - please check your Foswiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

Can't locate DB_Filepath in @INC (@INC contains: path path . path path path path path path path path)

Apparently this change introduced a dependency and made foswiki unusable.

18 Nov 2014:

using proper locking when updating the ldap cache (Foswiki:Main/TerjeNessAndersen); rewrite of name clash resolution to use login attributes, not DNs anymore

(Date is wrong in the changelog and should probably read Mar instead of Nov )

After installing "libdb-file-lock-perl" (and giving it some time to prefetch users and groups) the wiki seems to be working again.

The dependency is properly listed. So this is a bug of the debian packaging system maintained by SvenDowideit

After looking at the build logs at http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian/build.log I think the buildSetup.pl script by SvenDowideit doesn't convert the '_' in 'DB_File' properly.

The relevant lines are:

DEPENDENCIES: --- DB_File::Lock,>=1.00,1,cpan,Required == DB_File::Lock - cpan
Exiting subroutine via next at ./buildSetup.pl line 363.
Exiting subroutine via next at ./buildSetup.pl line 363.
DEPENDENCIES: LdapContrib did not identify debian package (DB_File::Lock)  libdb_file-lock found

Here it should search for 'libdb-file-lock' and would then probably find the right deb package. I will contact SvenDowideit regarding the issue.

This repository doesn't seem to be supported anymore.
