Debian 12: grommunio-admin-api should depend on python3-distutils

Llinuxbox · 3 Jan

If the package is missing, the error appears when starting systemctl start grommunio-admin-api:

Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: from openapi_core.schema.schemas.util import dicthash Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openapi_core/schema/schemas/util.py", line 2, in <module> Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: from distutils.util import strtobool Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.util' Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: unable to load app 0 (mountpoint='') (callable not found or import error) Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: *** no app loaded. going in full dynamic mode *** Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: *** uWSGI is running in multiple interpreter mode *** Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: spawned uWSGI master process (pid: 2126) Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio systemd[1]: Started grommunio-admin-api.service - grommunio admin api. Jan 03 15:47:38 grommunio uwsgi[2126]: spawned uWSGI worker 1 (pid: 2128, cores: 4)

And the error when trying to login:
Unexpected token 'I', "Internal S"... is not valid JSON

Installing python3-distutils resolves the problem.

In an earlier installation, the required Python modules were in the libvmime-suse5 package. This does not currently exist in the Debian repository, or I no longer know how it was installed.

If you can get the MGMT interface working on Debian, please let me know. I am getting "Permission denied" for whatever I am trying to do there. Thanks.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info!
But instead of an information in the documentation as you suggest, I would rather see it as a dependency, because without the package the Admin API does not work.

The admin interface works for me under Devuan and also tested under Debian.
I am happy to help with troubleshooting.
You could reset the password for “admin”, maybe a simple password to avoid errors/bugs with special characters?
Otherwise the nginx error log for admin-api?
Or run uwsgi in the foreground and switch on debugging.
Depending on what you have already tried and know yourself, I will send you the details.
