Rudder

OK, we now know a lot more about this. See steps to reproduce.

The output during the second installation looks like this:

rudder-agent has been installed (not started). This host can be a Rudder node.
To get started, configure your Rudder server's hostname and launch the agent:
# echo 'rudder.server' > /var/rudder/cfengine-community/policy_server.dat
# service rudder-agent start
This node will then appear in the Rudder web interface under 'Accept new nodes'.

Rudder is now installed but not configured.
Please run /opt/rudder/bin/rudder-init

Key points to note here are:

• rudder-reports is installed after rudder-webapp. This may be causing the SQL check in rudder-upgrade (that is launched as a postinst script to rudder-webapp) to fail.
• rudder-slapd is not accessible because it was not correctly stopped after the uninstall, nor correctly restarted when reinstalled

Updated steps to reproduce.

This is at least the case in 3.1, probably older versions too.
