The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[<address@concealed>]

I have just discovered that globally changing your email address partially
fails and deletes the User Profile in the process.

I am on Sympa 6.2.14 running on Debian Wheezy. Sympa is installed from
source,. not the Debian package.

My perl is: 5.14.2-21+deb7u3

My Preferences | Changing Your Email Address fails with the following:

*******************

The command does successfully update the user's email addresses in all his/her
lists, changing the "user_subscriber"  value in the subscriber_table.
However,  it fails to update the user_table and the user profile gets lost.
The old user_table record is deleted first, but the new one doesn't get
created, so there is nothing left.

I think everything is breaking in Sympa::User::update_global_user.

If by chance, it has to do with setting language properly,  which is another
component in the user preferences, I have in my sympa.conf file:
lang    en_US   (with an underscore)

But when you create your profile for the first time it is set as "en-
US"  (with a hyphen) in the database.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
