Well, I had the same problem: the test failed

I continued the installation nevertheless: I can query the database via
gnatsweb and look at pr's but editing pr's doesn't work.
I get change notification messages per email, but the pr's never change in
the database. I suspected unix access rights but they look OK.
Any ideas?
The main reason that I'm trying gnatsweb is its supposed ability to include
file attachments, although from the documentation I got the feeleing, that
attachments show up in text format in notifications etc.
Will gnats4 have native support for attachments (so that bug reports have
mime format)?#

Hi!
I've had this problem before. I was missing a colon in one of the lines
in the 'Categories' file.
Look into your gnats-db.conf file and make sure that it is correct.
Then look into the configuration files and verify that they are correct
too. Try to restore those files to their defaults and
see if that solves your problem. It worked for me.

Check the gnats-adm/locks directory. There might be some left-over lock
files there.

Unfortunately, no. However, since most people who are currently active on
this list are from Europe, I believe we all feel the need for this. But we
are in dire need of active developers. The drip-feeding of single patches
now and then is too little.
Anyone care to do some thinking on how GNATS should be redesigned to handle
MIME? And how should attachments be handled? Where should they be stored,
and how should they appear when viewing GNATS reports in Gnatsweb? in
Emacs? in plain command-line edit-pr?

True. :-( I become gnatsweb maintainer for lack of someone with more
time resources and so that I can install a couple of patches of mine
and from the gcc.gnu.org site, and also to deal with "lost" patches,
but after a few patches earlier this year, the feed has nearly stopped
(and I still don't and won't have much more time anytime soon).
I can only repeat my offer: If one of you wants to become co-maintainer
of gnatsweb, s/he's most welcome, as are patches!
