Maybe we should first inquire about the reason for the change :)

Of course, if the configuration is missing at that point this needs to
be fixed.

@sascha:

I guess this refers to the bug we talked about. But from the commit
I'm not quite clear why the configuration is missing at that point. I
guess you found a bug that I caused when I restructured perl-kolab.

A main point of that restructuring was to avoid any hardcoded paths in
perl-kolab since it is a library. We need to avoid this in libraries
for the reason Richard mentioned: It is not well portable.

So I required all scripts based on the perl-kolab library to call
Kolab::reloadConfig before they dive into the library so that the
necessary configuration will be available at that point.

So the question in the situation you tried to fix is: What is calling
create there? Is it any of the scripts in kolabd?

Cheers,

Gunnar
