Missing LDAP entries when removing the egroupware and the apache module

Unknown error at EBox::Ldap::modifyAttribute unrecognized objectClass 'eboxEgwAccount'

I installed the current ebox package some time ago; it works good for me, but the samba module misses the possibility to set aliases, so i went to remove egroupware+samba (apt-get remove ebox-...). It succeed, but after rebooting the status of the samba module says it is not loaded even samba runs fine (as service).

sudo /etc/init.d/ebox samba restart says Unknown error at EBox::Ldap::modifyAttribute unrecognized objectClass 'eboxEgwAccount'

Please fix it or send me a workaround... Thanks

Paul, could you please specify which exact version of these modules are you using? Thanks.

The german ebox Version is the current packages from the ppa repo:  http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/ubuntu hardy main

eBox - eGroupware - 1.0.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1 eBox common library for server and client 1.0-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1 eBox-Plattform - Basisframework 1.0.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1 eBox - Dateifreigabe (samba) 1.0.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1

Ok, thanks, we'll try to reproduce and fix your issue.

I can't reproduce the same behaviour, but you can try if this workaround fixes your problem. I attach here the script egroupware_workaround.pl, you only have to copy it to your ebox machine and execute it as root.

deletes eboxEgwAccount objectClass on all users

ebox.log

Still the same error... I uploaded my ebox.log.

Maybe it helps...

I can't see how this error comes after executing my script...

Correct me if I'm wrong, your current status is with ebox-samba package installed and ebox-egroupware package uninstalled, isn't it?

Try the following:

Check the content of /etc/ldap/slapd.conf.

If the line "include /etc/ldap/schema/ebox-egw-account.schema" is not present, try to add it.

Then do an /etc/init.d/slapd restart

That was the solution Maybe during deinstallation process this entry got lost?

Thanks a lot...

[jacalvo@…]

Yes, I suppose that, but when I tried to reproduce your issue I didn't get that error.

Glad to hear you've solved the problem :)

Hi there:

I see this error today too. This has been my procedure:

• Add eBox (1.2.9.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1).
• Add EGroupware (1.2.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1).
• Try it out, add some users, but finally uninstall ebox-egroupware.
• Add mail (1.2.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1).
• Everything fine, but when I try to change the password to one user same error shows up.

To solve this I must to install ebox-egroupware again and activate it, then I could change the password to that user.

It seems to me that uninstalling ebox-egroupware some process removes EGroupware schema from /etc/ldap/slapd.conf (this is correct, because you don't have to use it anymore), but the users at the LDAP still have the fields relationed to EGroupware, so the error might be there: those fields should be erased at the uninstall process.

Cheers, Ibon.

I can't reproduce this anymore in 1.5, reopen if still happens.
