Hi I think it is a good time to upload dbconfig-common to unstable soon. This means that the template should be translated as well. I case somebody wants to have a final look for this round, now would be a good moment. Furthermore, I can take care of asking for translations myself, but is there anybody lurking on this list that is eager to take that action? Paul

Template: dbconfig-common/remote-questions-default
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Will this server be used to access remote databases?
For the database types that support it, dbconfig-common includes support
for configuring databases on remote systems. When installing a package's
database via dbconfig-common, the questions related to remote
configuration are asked with a priority such that they are
skipped for most systems.
.
If you select this option, the default behavior will be to prompt you
with questions related to remote database configuration when you install
new packages.
.
If you are unsure, you should not select this option.
Template: dbconfig-common/remember-admin-pass
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Keep "administrative" database passwords?
By default, you will be prompted for all administrator-level database
passwords when you configure, upgrade, or remove applications with
dbconfig-common. These passwords will be stored in debconf's configuration
database only for as long as they are needed.
.
This behavior can be disabled, in which case the passwords will
remain in the debconf database. This database is protected by Unix file
permissions, though this is less secure and thus not the default setting.
.
If you would rather not be bothered for an administrative password
every time you upgrade a database application with dbconfig-common,
you should choose this option. Otherwise, you should refuse this option.
Template: dbconfig-common/dbconfig-install
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Configure database for ${pkg} with dbconfig-common?
The ${pkg} package must have a database installed and configured before
it can be used. This can be optionally handled with dbconfig-common.
.
If you are an advanced database administrator and know that you want
to perform this configuration manually, or if your database has already
been installed and configured, you should refuse this option. Details on what
needs to be done should most likely be provided in /usr/share/doc/${pkg}.
.
Otherwise, you should probably choose this option.
Template: dbconfig-common/dbconfig-reinstall
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Reinstall database for ${pkg}?
Since you are reconfiguring ${pkg}, you may also want to reinstall the
database which it uses.
.
If you wish to reinstall the database for ${pkg}, you should select
this option. If you do not wish to do so (if you are reconfiguring
the package for unrelated reasons), you should not select this option.
.
Warning: if you opt to reinstall the database and install it under a
name that already exists, the old database will be dropped without
further questions. In that case a backup of the original database is
made in /var/tmp/.
.
Warning: if you change the name of the database, the old database will
not be removed. If you change the name of the user that connects to
the database, the privileges of the original user will not be revoked.
Template: dbconfig-common/dbconfig-upgrade
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Perform upgrade on database for ${pkg} with dbconfig-common?
According to the maintainer for this package, database upgrade
operations need to be performed on ${pkg}. Typically, this is due to
changes in how a new upstream version of the package needs to store
its data.
.
If you want to handle this process manually, you should
refuse this option. Otherwise, you should choose this option.
During the upgrade, a backup of the database will be made in
/var/cache/dbconfig-common/backups, from which the database can
be restored in the case of problems.
Template: dbconfig-common/dbconfig-remove
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Deconfigure database for ${pkg} with dbconfig-common?
Since you are removing ${pkg}, it's possible that you no longer
want the underlying database and the privileges for the user
associated with this package.
.
Please choose whether database removal and privilege revocation should be
handled with dbconfig-common.
.
If you choose this option, dbconfig-common will check if ${pkg} provided
scripts and database commands to undo package specific operations and run
them if they exist. Then it will ask if you want to purge the database and
revoke the standard privileges for the user of ${pkg}. If you don't want
any of this, or if you want to handle this manually, you should refuse
this option.
Template: dbconfig-common/database-type
Type: select
Choices: ${database_types}
_Description: Database type to be used by ${pkg}:
The ${pkg} package can be configured to use one of several database types.
Below, you will be presented with the available choices.
Template: dbconfig-common/purge
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Purge the database for ${pkg}?
If you no longer need the database for ${pkg} and the privileges of
the database user of ${pkg}, you can choose to remove the database and
revoke the privileges now.
.
If you no longer have need of the data being stored by ${pkg}, you
should choose this option. If you want to keep this data,
or if you would rather handle this process manually, you should
refuse this option.
Template: dbconfig-common/upgrade-backup
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Back up the database for ${pkg} before upgrading?
The underlying database for ${pkg} needs to be upgraded as part of the
installation process. Just in case, the database can be backed up
before this is done, so that if something goes wrong, you can revert
to the previous package version and repopulate the database.
Template: dbconfig-common/password-confirm
Type: password
_Description: Password confirmation:
Template: dbconfig-common/app-password-confirm
Type: password
_Description: Password confirmation:
Template: dbconfig-common/passwords-do-not-match
Type: error
_Description: Password mismatch
The password and its confirmation do not match.
Template: dbconfig-common/upgrade-error
Type: select
__Choices: abort, retry, retry (skip questions), ignore
Default: abort
#flag:translate!:3
_Description: Next step for database upgrade:
An error occurred while upgrading the database:
.
${error}
.
Fortunately, ${dbfile} should hold a backup of the database, made just before
the upgrade (unless the error occurred during backup creation, in which case
no changes will have been applied yet). Your options are:
* abort - Causes the operation to fail; you will need to downgrade,
reinstall, reconfigure this package, or otherwise manually intervene
to continue using it. This will usually also impact your ability to
install other packages until the installation failure is resolved.
* retry - Prompts once more with all the configuration questions
(including ones you may have missed due to the debconf priority
setting) and makes another attempt at performing the operation.
* retry (skip questions) - Immediately attempts the operation again,
skipping all questions. This is normally useful only if you have
solved the underlying problem since the time the error occurred.
* ignore - Continues the operation ignoring dbconfig-common errors.
This will usually leave this package without a functional database.
Template: dbconfig-common/install-error
Type: select
__Choices: abort, retry, retry (skip questions), ignore
Default: abort
#flag:translate!:3
_Description: Next step for database installation:
An error occurred while installing the database:
.
${error}
.
Your options are:
* abort - Causes the operation to fail; you will need to downgrade,
reinstall, reconfigure this package, or otherwise manually intervene
to continue using it. This will usually also impact your ability to
install other packages until the installation failure is resolved.
* retry - Prompts once more with all the configuration questions

* retry (skip questions) - Immediately attempts the operation again,
skipping all questions. This is normally useful only if you have
solved the underlying problem since the time the error occurred.
* ignore - Continues the operation ignoring dbconfig-common errors.
This will usually leave this package without a functional database.
Template: dbconfig-common/remove-error
Type: select
__Choices: abort, retry, retry (skip questions), ignore
Default: abort
#flag:translate!:3
_Description: Next step for database removal:
An error occurred while removing the database:
.
${error}
.
As a result it was not possible to remove the database for ${pkg}. Your
options are:
* abort - Causes the operation to fail; you will need to downgrade,
reinstall, reconfigure this package, or otherwise manually intervene
to continue using it. This will usually also impact your ability to
install other packages until the installation failure is resolved.
* retry - Prompts once more with all the configuration questions
(including ones you may have missed due to the debconf priority
setting) and makes another attempt at performing the operation.
* retry (skip questions) - Immediately attempts the operation again,
skipping all questions. This is normally useful only if you have
solved the underlying problem since the time the error occurred.
* ignore - Continues the operation ignoring dbconfig-common errors.
This will usually leave the database and user privileges in place.
Template: dbconfig-common/missing-db-package-error
Type: select
Choices: abort, retry, ignore
Default: abort
_Description: Next step:
Configuring the database for ${pkg} requires the package ${dbpackage}
to be installed and configured first, which is not something that can be
checked for automatically.
.
Your options are:
* abort - Choose this when in doubt and install ${dbpackage} before
continuing with the configuration of this package. This causes the
installation of ${pkg} to fail for now.
* retry - Prompts once more with all the configuration questions
(including ones you may have missed due to the debconf priority
setting) and makes another attempt at performing the operation.
Choose this if you chose the wrong database type by mistake.
* ignore - Continues the operation ignoring dbconfig-common errors.
This will usually leave this package without a functional database.
Template: dbconfig-common/remote/host
Type: select
Choices: ${hosts}
_Description: Host name of the ${dbvendor} database server for ${pkg}:

enter a new host.
Template: dbconfig-common/remote/port
Type: string
_Description: Port number for the ${dbvendor} service:
Please specify the port the ${dbvendor} database on the remote host is
running on. To use the default port, leave this field blank.
Template: dbconfig-common/remote/newhost
Type: string
_Description: Host running the ${dbvendor} server for ${pkg}:
Please provide the hostname of a remote ${dbvendor} server.
.
You must have already arranged for the administrative
account to be able to remotely create databases and grant
privileges.
Template: dbconfig-common/db/dbname
Type: string
_Description: ${dbvendor} database name for ${pkg}:
Please provide a name for the ${dbvendor} database to be used by ${pkg}.
Template: dbconfig-common/db/app-user
Type: string
_Description: ${dbvendor} username for ${pkg}:
Please provide a ${dbvendor} username for ${pkg} to register with the
database server. A ${dbvendor} user is not necessarily the same as a
system login, especially if the database is on a remote server.
.
This is the user which will own the database, tables, and other
objects to be created by this installation. This user will have
complete freedom to insert, change, or delete data in the database.
.
If your username contains an @, you need to specify the domain as well
(see below).
.
Advanced usage: if you need to define the domain that the user will log
in from, you can write "username@domain".
Template: dbconfig-common/db/basepath
Type: string
_Description: ${dbvendor} storage directory for ${pkg}:
Please provide a path where the ${dbvendor} database file for ${pkg}
should be installed into.
.
The permissions for this directory will be set to match the permissions
for the generated database file.
Template: dbconfig-common/mysql/method
Type: select
__Choices: Unix socket, TCP/IP
Default: Unix socket
_Description: Connection method for MySQL database of ${pkg}:
By default, ${pkg} will be configured to use a MySQL server
through a local Unix socket (this provides the best performance).
To connect with a different method, or to a different server entirely,
select the appropriate option from the choices here.
Template: dbconfig-common/mysql/app-pass
Type: password
_Description: MySQL application password for ${pkg}:
Please provide a password for ${pkg} to register with the
database server. If left blank, a random password will be
generated.
Template: dbconfig-common/mysql/admin-user
Type: string
Default: root
_Description: Name of the database's administrative user:
Please provide the name of the account with which this package should perform
administrative actions. This user is the one with the power to create new
database users.
.
For MySQL, this is almost always "root". Note that this is not the
same as the Unix login "root".
Template: dbconfig-common/mysql/admin-pass
Type: password
_Description: Password of the database's administrative user:
Please provide the password for the administrative account "${dbadmin}" with
which this package should create its MySQL database and user.
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/method
Type: select
__Choices: Unix socket, TCP/IP, TCP/IP + SSL
Default: Unix socket
_Description: Connection method for PostgreSQL database of ${pkg}:
By default, ${pkg} will be configured to use a PostgreSQL server
through a local Unix socket (this provides the best performance).
To connect with a different method, or to a different server entirely,
select the appropriate option from the choices here.
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/app-pass
Type: password
_Description: PostgreSQL application password for ${pkg}:
Please provide a password for ${pkg} to register with the database
server. If left blank, a random password will be generated.
.
If you are using "ident" authentication, the supplied password will not
be used and can be left blank. Otherwise, PostgreSQL access may need to
be reconfigured to allow password-authenticated access.
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/admin-user
Type: string
Default: postgres
_Description: Name of the database's administrative user:
Please provide the name of the account with which this package should perform
administrative actions. This user is the one with the power to create new
database users.
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/admin-pass
Type: password
_Description: Password of your database's administrative user:
Please provide the password for the ${dbadmin} account with which this package
should perform administrative actions.
.
For a standard PostgreSQL installation, a database password is not
required, since authentication is done at the system level.
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/authmethod-admin
Type: select
__Choices: ident, password
Default: ident
_Description: Method for authenticating the PostgreSQL administrator:
PostgreSQL servers provide several different mechanisms for authenticating
connections. Please select what method the administrative user should use
when connecting to the server.
.
With "ident" authentication on the local machine, the server will
check that the owner of the Unix socket is allowed to connect.
.
With "ident" authentication to remote hosts, RFC-1413-based ident is
used (which can be considered a security risk).
.
With "password" authentication, a password will be passed to the server
for use with some authentication backend (such as "MD5" or "PAM"). Note
that the password is still passed in the clear across network
connections if your connection is not configured to use SSL.
.
For a standard PostgreSQL installation running on the same host,
"ident" is recommended.
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/authmethod-user
Type: select

Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/no-user-choose-other-method
Type: note
_Description: PostgreSQL connection method error
Unfortunately, it seems that the database connection method you
have selected for ${pkg} will not work, because it requires the existence
of a local user that does not exist.
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/changeconf
Type: boolean
Default: false
#flag:translate!:3
_Description: Change PostgreSQL configuration automatically?
It has been determined that the database installation for ${pkg}
cannot be automatically accomplished without making changes to
the PostgreSQL server's access controls. It is suggested that this
be done by dbconfig-common when the package is installed. If
instead you would prefer to do it manually, the following line needs
to be added to your pg_hba.conf:
.
${pghbaline}
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/revertconf
Type: boolean
Default: false
#flag:translate!:3
_Description: Revert PostgreSQL configuration automatically?
As ${pkg} is now being removed, it may no longer be necessary to
have an access control entry in the PostgreSQL server's configuration.
While keeping such an entry will not break any software on the
system, it may be seen as a potential security concern. It is suggested
that this be done by dbconfig-common when the package is removed.
If instead you would prefer to do it manually, the following line
needs to be removed from your pg_hba.conf:
.
${pghbaline}
Template: dbconfig-common/pgsql/manualconf
Type: note
_Description: Modifications needed in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf
To get the database for package ${pkg} bootstrapped you have
to edit the configuration of the PostgreSQL server. You may be able to
find help in the file /usr/share/doc/${pkg}/README.Debian.
