Initial run of ./bin/dbupdate fails.

[Art]

Hi Folks,

happily, someone replied to my last email and shared with me how they had 
configured GMG on Debian to talk with Postgres - set the entry to:

postgresql://<user>:<password>@<server>/<database_name>

They didn't post to the list, so I won't out them, for their privacy.

Unfortunately, though, the next step didn't work:

./bin/gmg dbupdate

I get all sorts of python errors, included below my sig line for your 
reading pleasure. And, as I said, I don't know python.

Since this is "straight out of the box" with all the listed dependencies 
given, in my view this enters bug territory. But maybe someone here knows 
better? At the least it's a "documentation bug" as they are sometimes 
called. My _suspicion_ is it's a dependency error, but I have no clue what 
it could be, OR how to figure out what it is.

I'm pretty sure, but not certain, it has nothing to do with the postgres 
connection because I went to the trouble, just for testing purposes, to create 
the database on the same machine; it failed identically. Further, none of 
the errors talk about postgres or database access that I can see but 
rather speak to "Jinja2" and  "sphinx."

I had a python-knowledgeable (but not true expert) colleague look at it 
and he at first suggested that the additional version of Jinja I installed 
(as root using dnf, of course) to overcome a weird sphinx-related issue 
during the make and it appears to have fixed it. He noticed that there 
were now two locations for was in an odd place, and proposed setting 
PYTHONPATH.

It had not been set at all, so I tried setting it to include BOTH the 
system's "normal" location and this one in the build-tree where I 
installed GMG. Unfortunately, there was no change in behavior.

export 
PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages:/usr/src/mediagoblin/lib/python3.10/site-packages"

I tried just the one & just the other - no luck.

I'm considering saving some bits from the source tree (which I had not 
ralized was also intended to be the "installed directory), and trying 
again "from scratch" in a different location. But, that's a good bit of 
work which may result in failure again. I'm hoping someone someone can 
give some insight.

Before I "hit send": I found the wiki but didn't find any place to post 
this kind of problem, rather than the email list? Or, is the email list my 
only option (within the Gnu community)?

Thanks,
Art
