Patch that fixes issue

Description of problem:
I'm trying to setup a 389 server. It is done automatically via the kolab-setup which intern is calling the 389 setup script. It fails because DSUtil.pm doesn't check if $res exists before calling functions on it.

I get the following error:

Can't call method "getText" on an undefined value at /usr/lib64/dirsrv/perl/DSUtil.pm line 259.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-22.el6_4.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Obviously this is fixed in a newer version of 389 - however the EPEL package doesn't seem to be getting updated.

The attached patch fixes the issue

Comment 2 Nathan Kinder 2013-12-18 19:52:21 UTC 
This was fixed in 389-ds-base-1.3.1.0-1.
Comment 3 Nathanael Noblet 2013-12-18 21:31:05 UTC 
I realize it was fixed in newer versions of 389-ds. However the version provided to epel is 1.2.2. So there needs to be a patch for epel or epel needs an updated version.

Comment 4 Rich Megginson 2013-12-18 23:45:27 UTC 
Wrong package - you want 389-ds-base - 389-ds is just a "meta" package wrapper around the other components

Also note that 389-ds-base is not technically in EPEL6 since it is included in the base RHEL6 (or whatever EL6 distro you are using) - see http://port389.org/wiki/Download

This was fixed in 389-ds-base-1.2.11.23.
Comment 5 Nathanael Noblet 2014-01-08 19:46:28 UTC 
So I've re-assigned this to RHEL 6. Currently 389-ds-base has the bug listed above...
Comment 7 Noriko Hosoi 2014-01-08 23:49:35 UTC 
Fixed in upstream.  Changing the status to POST.
Comment 9 mreynolds 2014-06-20 13:41:57 UTC 
Verification steps:

[1]  Run setup-ds.pl
[2]  Provide an invalid hostname during the install (bogus.bogus.bogus.com)
[3]  The error should not be (Can't call method "getText"), but it should instead mention the invalid hostname,
