Summary

0001830: Packetfence does not start after upgrade

Description

After upgrading from packetfence 4.3 to 4.4 via the inverse repository,
the following error message appears when

  /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd anyparameter

is executed:

Fatal error preventing configuration to load. Please review your configuration. Error: Sereal: Error in srl_decoder.c line 657 and char 1 of input: Bad Sereal header: Not a valid Sereal document. at /usr/share/perl5/Data/Serializer/Sereal.pm line 51. at /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/config.pm line 394
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd.pl line 84.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd.pl line 84.

An

  apt-get --reinstall install packetfence

has been tried without success. Additionally,

  rm -fr /usr/local/pf/var/cache/*

has been executed as described in UPGRADE.asciidoc. The sereal Packages are installed:

# dpkg -l | grep sereal

ii libsereal-encoder-perl 3.001.003-1 amd64 fast, compact, powerful binary serializationa module

Notes
(0003585) lmunro (administrator) 2014-10-08 13:18	pkill memcached and restart packetfence.

(0003586) pfbug (reporter) 2014-10-08 16:43	Thanks a lot, that solved the problem. Perhaps this should be added to the postinstall script?
