Debian unstable has 1.4.3 so I installed:
# tail -1 /etc/apt/sources.list
deb
http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
# apt-get install 389-ds/unstable cockpit/unstable
Ran :
dscreate interactive
cockpit 389 tab showed:
"There is no 389-ds-base package installed on this system. Sorry there
is nothing to manage..."
20200330 16:50:15<mreynolds> you should see the command that
failed. Its trying to do "rpm -q 389-ds-base"
20200330 17:02:04<vashirov> ln -sf /usr/bin/true /usr/bin/rpm
Mark, I think we should make this a bug. Instead of checking for 'rpm -q ...'
here, a better option could be to check for defaults.inf, or even to make a subcommand for
dsctl or something that show's installed codebases. This will affect freebsd etc, and
could be a good way to handle it instead. :)
Thanks Laurent, appreciate your patience with this!
After this small hack everything worked.
Thanks for the help!
