[Kroupware] news from "obmtool kolab"

[Thomas Lotterer]

Support information for "kolab-1.0-14-20031014/obmtool kolab"

Issue
    Debian unstable (sarge) installation reports file conflicts for
    .../info/dir.old. These are mereley cosmetic, however they inhibit
    successful installation.

    Workaround (alternative #1)
    Use binaries for the conflicting packages.

    Workaround (alternative #2)
    Add '--force' to install line of conflicting packages in
    obmtool.conf manually.

    Solution
    No solution available right now.

Issue
    Machine with Alpha CPU creates huge (4GB) binaries.

    Solution
    A later bootstrap is needed. Apply attached patch
    kolab-1.0-14-20031014_obmtool.conf_alphacpu to obmtool.conf by
    patch(1) or modify manually.

Issue
    Machine with Alpha CPU reports "gp-relative relocation against
    dynamic symbol" for certain packages linking against fsl.

    Solution (alternative #1)
    An updated fsl package was created. Apply attached patch
    kolab-1.0-14-20031014_obmtool.conf_alphacpu to obmtool.conf by
    patch(1) or modify lines manually.

    Workaround (alternative #2)
    Disable use of fsl by adding '--define "with_fsl no"' to install
    line in obmtool.conf manually.

Issue
    Web user interface cannot add users,
    /kolab/var/apache/log/apache-error.log lists "PHP Fatal error: Call
    to undefined function: utf8_encode()".

    Solution for fresh installs
    Apache must be build with_mod_php_xml which was missing. Also,
    with_mod_php_pear should be removed as it is not yes supported
    by OpenPKG and not yet needed by Kolab. Apply attached patch
    kolab-1.0-14-20031014_obmtool.conf_newphpxml to obmtool.conf by
    patch(1) or modify lines manually.

    Solution to correct existing installs
    Apache must be build with_mod_php_xml which was missing. Also,
    with_mod_php_pear should be removed as it is not yes supported by
    OpenPKG and not yet needed by Kolab. Exising bad binary must be
    wiped out and a new one must be forcibly build. Apply attached patch
    kolab-1.0-14-20031014_obmtool.conf_updphpxml to obmtool.conf by
    patch(1) or modify lines manually.

Thanks to Alexander Walla, Brian Galura, Marc Romeo and Marc Schumann
for their feedback, hints, suggestions and equipment.
