[ZendTo] zendto-saml_1.0-1_all.deb doesn't install on Debian Bullseye

[Kate Dawson]

Hi Jules,

I followed your advice and downloaded and installed the zendto-saml_1.1-3 Debian package.
It installed fine. I merged the config changes and everything still works as far as I can tell so far on my staging server.

Thanks!

Kate Dawson

Hi Jules,

I downloaded the new deb from https://zend.to/files/zendto-saml_1.1-1.deb
and installed it.  I don't think it's in the repo yet  ?  I couldn't find it by doing an apt upgrade, and apt list -a shows the 1.0-1 version available still

It warned me about differences between some of SimpleSAMLphp config files

config.php
authsources.php

which were customised for my configuration.  I reviewed the diffs and merged them as relevant.
Everything installed fine and is working as expected for me on my staging server.

Thanks,

Kate Dawson

Kate,

I have just released a new version of the zendto-saml package 1.1 which should resolve this for you.
It also includes an update to the very latest stable version of SimpleSAMLphp.

Please can you try it out and let me know what you think?

I've also released a new beta of ZendTo, version 6.12-1 which you can get from the beta page at zend.to/beta.
And there's a new ZendTo Installer update which handles Ubuntu 21, Rocky 8.5 and uses PHP 8 in preference to PHP 7 where it can.

Cheers,
Jules.

Hi .. I think there may be a bug in the

zendto-saml_1.0-1_all.deb

package.

When I go to install it on Debian 11 Bullseye, I get the following error

Selecting previously unselected package zendto-saml.
Preparing to unpack .../6-zendto-saml_1.0-1_all.deb ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-M7YSwI/6-zendto-saml_1.0-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 conffile name 'opt/zendto/simplesamlphp/config/acl.php' is not an absolute pathname
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-M7YSwI/6-zendto-saml_1.0-1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I think this may be related to this change to dpkg

https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-dpkg-cvs@lists.debian.org/msg07446.html

I can work around it by altering the conffile paths and rebuilding the deb.

Regards,

Kate Dawson
