After some time of silence, I have just finished and uploaded version 4.5.1-1 of my Drupal .deb. It should hit the Debian mirrors within the next one or two days (see http://packages.debian.org/drupal).

Great work!
Thanks for helping keep Debian updated, bengen. I think this will help many people when installing Drupal. I also hope that Drupal users can help you update any problems that arise in the package by providing feedback to the Debain bug tracking system (BTS). I've updated the support bot running in #drupal-support so it can query the BTS.
Can't thank you enough
I have been hoping 4.5.1 would hit debian soon. Thanks for the heads up!

A small dependecy correction
Although a pear beackend is present in 4.5.1 it is not kept up to date, and it has been removed from HEAD so I doubt Drupal depends on php4-pear.

Sarge install
hi,
i downloaded the deb from the above url and got 4.5.2 - really nice.
Dependencies do not seem to be a problem in an up to date sarge (testing) installation although the package is designed to run in unstable. Good.
During installation i ran into a severe problem: it expects the mysql superuser root@localhost to be accessibel without any password.
Which administrator would leave such a door in his mysql installation? So please do not force us to set up insecure system environments and provide a routine which asks for the root user name (which is not necessarily root@localhost) and the corrsponding password.
cheers,
Michael
uninstall drupal 4.5.2
mhmm, it failed - could not connect to database. Now i am having a crippled installation and therefore will have difficulties to upgrade to 4.6.x :-((
can anyone give me a hint how to manually remove the package
(i.e., remove data files, config files, and most important, all the debconf and pkg stuff MANUALLY)
Thanks in advance.
cheers,
Michael
Why not just use apt to do that?
The easiest way is to issue this command:
apt-get remove --purge drupal
should remove everything.

if it was that simple, i
if it was that simple, i would not have asked here. I have even added --force-all and failed.
The problem is that the postinst routine runs into an infinite loop because it cannot establish a database connection (NOTE: mysql has meanwhile been upgraded too, and i have to specify passwords manually in the mysql CLI as old_password() to have them operable with drupal.
Meanwhile i have set up drupal 4.6 in its own database with its own URL (i am going to test the new multisite feature) and have the broken 4.5.2 installation in apt which will cause trouble on every upgrade of the system - setting it on hold does not work either :-(
What i basicly need to do is running the commands of the deinstall scripts manually, do i? Where do i find this stuff in the depths of the dpkg database?
cheers,
Michael
Its got nothing to do with the drupal packages
When install MySQL you get asked what you what its root password to be that password gets stored by dpkg for other debconfs to use... if you didn't set a password during MySQL installation but rather later changed it your self manuly dpkg has no way of finding this out to update its secure database of passwords...
fix it up with dpkg not blame drupal or it maintainor...
Official Debian Repository for Drupal
Would it be possible for Drupal to maintain its own repository of Debian packages so we can make the most up-to-date versions available for the stable release of Debian?
