Re: Build Debian bin pkg from Ubunt scr pkg

Hallo!

My last posting is so terse that it nearly qualifies to be wrong.  Sorry for that, I will be verbose again
(thanks for your patience ;)

When I freshly install the "refdb" package, either the first time or after a purge of the package the server
exits prematurely after the installation is completed.  So far I was right.  But this statement/answer is
not relevant for Markus, to whom's posting I have replied, because the server code apparently works as he
writes (only checking for the presence of a db-driver) and the reason why the server exits is a packaging issue.

Only having installed a package "libdbd-sqlite" instead of "libdbd-sqlite3" was one of the reasons why
the server could not start when I first tried to install the package.  But installing "libdbd-sqlite3"
only solved the problem partially - the server still did not start.  The reason for this was that the
"refdbd"-server does not find an "/etc/refdb/refdbdrc" file, because the "/etc/refdb" only contains
"*.example" files until I _manually_ run the "refdbd-init" script.

And now for the somewhat intricate part of the story.  As Torsten writes:

Although it did not work for me, this still may be true for Torsten, because:
