logs when systemd start couchdb

Thank you for the report.

Our current version 3.2.2 is 17mth old. There is an update:
 CouchDB 3.2.3 : https://couchdb.apache.org/#download
Perhaps we should start with that.
+ a separate version CouchDB 3.3.2

But the error in the journal indicates Erlang, for which we have version 24.3.4.7. The same page makes reference to "Erlang/OTP 23.3.4.18".

Installing the pkg gave:
"/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/couchdb.conf:1: Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/couchdb → /run/couchdb; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly."
which means nothing to me, so I did nothing.

$ sudo systemctl start couchdb
$ sudo systemctl status couchdb.service

CouchDB has been the same for a long time except many "rebuild for icuxx".
So the problem could be there, or Erlang?

Summary: couchdb crash on startup => couchdb does not start (Erlang crash)
Assignee: bugsquad => pkg-bugs

Please test couchdb-3.2.2-2.1.mga9 in Core/Updates_testing repo! Maybe a rebuild against current erlang 24.3.4.7 should fix this crash.

Packages in 9/Core/Updates_testing:
======================

tested couchdb after update, exactly the same error, no amelioration.

Thanks for the test.

Setting the feedback keyword (so that we can see in https://madb.mageia.org/tools/updates that further testing is not yet needed and that the advisory doesn't yet need to be uploaded)

I banged on this a little bit.  Never used or built couchdb.   Unable to get his working, seems like it needs a lot of configuration to make it work.

The current erlang seems to be later than 7:
$ rpm -q erlang
erlang-24.3.4.15-1.mga9

I didn't dig into it, I assume you described the issue well.
However, please consider replacing the subject with e.g.:

  Updated couchdb package fixes a crash

and starting the description with:

  This update fixes the following issue:

So that the advisory doesn't sound like it's a bugcreate advisory ;-)

Update to suggested advisory

Attachment 14340 is obsolete: 0 => 1

I've tried the updated version from updates_testing and still am not able to start couchdb. I've also compiled version 3.3.3 for mga9 and it's still crashing.

David this not works return to you because you send the current testing version
