RE: simple dpkg & compile from source question
Thanks for the replies.
Package: qmailadmin_0.45-1_i386.deb built from qmailadmin-0.45.tar.gz.
Current build: qmailadmin-1.0.2.tar.gz
This was pulled down from apt source and built by a friend of mine last
year and is running on my mta. I've set up all other qmail/vpopmail
packages and they're running ok; qmailadmin is the last.
The trouble has been with the install script dropping qmailadmin into
/usr/local while the INSTALL directions specify /usr/local/share. I
don't think it'd break if I moved the folder over to share since it's
just html templates; the rest of the install paths look correct but
instead of hacking around with it; I'm waiting for an answer on a
compile error from inter7 (see below) in hopes of defining if this is
the one problem, or if there are others as well.
I noticed after trying to get this working a few times that my friend
compiled this from source since dpkg -l doesn't show the package-- he
forgot to mention that to me when he suggested I use his packages
instead of building my own.
This error could be caused by him building the package incorrectly
though I doubt it since he's pretty meticulous over his work and debian.
I could try rebuilding it. I'm wondering if I can use qmailadmin-1.0.2
with vpopmail 4.9.9-1. I'll post my findings if I get the deb package
working if anyone's interested.
Regards, justin

Hi, ran into trouble configuring qmailadmin 0.45. output is below.
specifically, "unable to find your html base directory." the install
notes say default is /usr/local/share/qmailadmin. What's causing this
error?
Also, I've got these files on another server i.e. same build etc; should
I simply copy them?
cat: /var/lib/vpopmail/etc/inc_deps: No such file or directory
cat: /var/lib/vpopmail/etc/lib_deps: No such file or directory
qmail 1.03-17
vpopmail 4.9.9-1
Thanks in advance! justin

This is not an uncommon situation. Just install the application under
/usr/local and you shouldn't run into any problems. I wonder what you
mean when you say the deb installs into the wrong directory, though --
maybe a bug report is in order? What package is it? What files end up in
the wrong place? Where do you expect to see them and why do you think
the place they are in is wrong?
good times,
Vineet
