install openwebmail interfere's with mysql-server install.



I recently encountered a potentail bug involving openwebmail and
mysql-server. I wanted to know if anyone else could reproduce it.

Result: Install openwebmail and modifyting DB_File as per directions in
openwebmail and then installing mysql-server will prevent mysql-server
from starting.
Expected Result:
Openwebmail should not interfere with mysql-server.

Repro:
Install openwebmail.
Mody DB_File as per openwebmail directions. (see below)
Install mysql-server.
Start mysql-server.
Mysql-server will not start, and does not give error.
Remove change from DB_File.
Remove mysql-server.
Reinstall mysql-server.
Mysql-server starts correctly.

Package Information:
Inst openwebmail (2.21-3 Debian:testing
Inst mysql-server (4.0.16-2 Debian:testing)

Openwebmail post install directions:
/usr/share/doc/openwebmail/readme.txt
I am assuming you need to add the listed line of code in DB_File.pm,
if it does not exist.
------
2. it checks if the dbm system uses DB_File.pm by default and
   will suggest a necessary patch to DN_File.pm, you may see output like
-------------------------------------------------------------
Please modify /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach/DB_File.pm by adding

        $arg[3] = 0666 unless defined $arg[3];

before the following text (about line 247)

        # make recno in Berkeley DB version 2 work like recno in version 1
