Bug#206600: cacti: wrong mysql hostname/credential

[Oliver Zimmermann <oz@bluemonk.de>]

Package: cacti
Version: 0.6.8a-13.1
Followup-For: Bug #206600

As Gaetan wrote, there is a mismatch of variables in the cacti.postinst script, which stops installation with "Cacti is not configured due to wrong mysql hostname/credential".

With a hotfix I could repeat the installation successfully by running dpkg-reconfigure cacti. I had to add the following 3 lines in the function get_config():
dbname="$RET"
dbuser="$RET"
dbpass="$RET"

...now it looks like this:

get_config()
{
        db_get cacti/mysql_server
        mysql_server="$RET"
        db_get cacti/database
        database="$RET"
        dbname="$RET"
        db_get cacti/root_mysql
        root_mysql="$RET"
        db_get cacti/root_password
        root_passwd="$RET"
        db_get cacti/username
        username="$RET"
        dbuser="$RET"
        db_get cacti/password
        password="$RET"
        dbpass="$RET"
        db_get cacti/webserver
        webserver="$RET"
        db_get cacti/no_mysql
        no_mysql="$RET"
}
