Re: Advice for dbconfig-common template



I have a new concern.

We currently have in the upgrade-error the following line:
 Fortunately, ${dbfile} holds a backup of the database, made just before
 the upgrade.

However, if the error occurred during the creation of the backup this
message may be confusing. Do you think the following line is better to
avoid that?
 Unless the error already occurred during the backup creation,
 ${dbfile} holds a backup of the database, made just before
 the upgrade.

I don't think it is clear enough from this text that if the backup
failed, no changes were applied (and the operator doesn't need to worry
about the backup yet). Maybe:
 Fortunately, ${dbfile} holds a backup of the database, made just before
 the upgrade (unless the error already occurred during the backup
 creation, in which case no changes were applied yet).
