Postfixadmin dies at the start, because autoloader configuration
generated by php-composer is not found. Instead of tha login page, httpd
returns only this:

vendor/autoload.php is missing. Please run 'install.sh' or follow the
instructions in INSTALL.TXT

This was already reporter as but 1135837, but closed with upload of a
new upstream version 4.0.4+ds and archived. What exactly was the new
upstream version supposed to fix here? The bug is still reproducible
with 4.0.5+ds-1.

I believe the problem is here: postfixadmin commits suicide at the
startup, because ./vendor/autoload.php does not exist.

/usr/share/postfixadmin/common.php:
------
<?php

if (!is_file(dirname(__FILE__) . '/vendor/autoload.php')) {
     die("vendor/autoload.php is missing. Please run 'install.sh' or
follow the instructions in INSTALL.TXT");
}
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/vendor/autoload.php');
------

Upstream uses php-composer to manage php dependencies. When packaged to
debian, I guess this is not the case but dependencies are handled the
Debian way, as they should. Thus we do not have the composer-generated
autoloader configuration.

Or am I missing something?

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this.
https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/issues/1026 when I uploaded
4.0.4+ds-1, but today I looked closer and found that I made a mistake of
assuming it was fixed. Sorry about that!

I am preparing an upload this weekend or the next to really fix this.

Cheers,

Control: tags -1 + pending

I prepared a new upload that should address this bug. I'll upload it in
the next few hours. Please test on unstable (or wait 5 days for it to
migrate to testing).

Cheers,

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
postfixadmin, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

Version: 4.0.5+ds+~cs20.241.5-1
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Luke Yasuda <jing@jing.rocks>
Changed-By: Luke Yasuda <jing@jing.rocks>
Closes: 1110966 1150349
Changes:
 postfixadmin (4.0.5+ds+~cs20.241.5-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * d/control: remove substvar misc:Depends, not needed anymore
   * forwardport a fix to include all the models from postfixadmin's libs.
     This is needed because upstream switched to use composer in 4.0.
   * remove the requirement of having vendor/autoload.php.
     We do not use composer in Debian to build this package. Runtime
     dependencies have been missing since 4.0.1, so we pull them in
     to fix this issue. (Closes: #1150349)
   * add source lintian overrides: very long line length
   * install the missing css files (Closes: #1110966)
   * New upstream version 4.0.5+ds+~cs20.241.5
