Bug 732394 – net-misc/x2goserver does not create db on install

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description R030t1 2020-07-13 02:01:04 UTC]

See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/467507/x2go-unable-to-find-free-display-port-or-insert-new-session-into-database.

Solved with `x2godbadmin --createdb`. Feels like this should be run automatically, but perhaps there is deeper issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install x2goserver on machine.
2. Attempt to connect with x2goclient.
Actual Results:  
Long error message, see SO link. Potentially related bug on another project: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6729.

Expected Results:  
Connect to machine graphically.

Is the ebuild log warning not enough? Given there's different setups depending on USE and no cleanups, having the user do it and be aware of it may be preferable (not that it's up to me).

If it got spit out in warning I admit I missed it. Perhaps this bug should be taken as a suggestion to perform these actions automatically. I can't see a reason not to.
