[Kolab-devel] [issue3138] Upgrade from Kolab-2.1 to Kolab-2.2 failed

[Gunnar Wrobel]

New submission from Gunnar Wrobel <p at rdus.de>:

We recently had two upgrade failure reports with a similar issue.

http://kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-users/2008-September/008752.html
http://lists.wald.intevation.org/pipermail/kolab-users-de/2008-September/000129.html


In both cases the installation fails right at the beginning.

A close look at the beginning of the command line the installer tries to run

    /kolab/bin/openpkg build -kKBuZ -r "/tmp/install-kolab.545.9588.7063.16159" ...

shows a temporary install location which is not correct.

I believe that happens because the installer creates a temporary directory and
does not return to the source directory.

In cases where the user does not provide any arguments to the installer the
script will set INSTALL=`pwd` in line 216. This will be the temp dir which would
be incorrect.

I tried to fix this now with
http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/server/install-kolab.sh.diff?r1=1.44&r2=1.45

@thomas, wilde: Can you check if I correctly identified the error, fixed it in a
sane way and maybe update the install script on the mirrors if you consider it
necessary?
