[Koha-devel] Bug 4036 problems after upgrading from 3.00.05 to 3.02.01

[Koustubha Kale]

Hi,
I downloaded 3.02.01 tarball and upgraded the existing 3.00.05 install
via the make upgrade route after taking care of all perl dependencies.

The librarian was unable to issue to patrons with overdues. The yellow
box was showing "Patron has had overdue items and is blocked for 10
day(s)."

This led me to bug 4036. On investigating in /usr/share/koha I found that..
1) koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/circulation.tmpl had
the entries corresponding to the patch proposed here
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=1795
2) I could not find a syspref setting
AllowIssuingForPatronsWithOverdues but a corresponding variable was
present in the mysql database table systempreferences.
3) I also did not find code introduced in the proposed patch in either
C4/Members.pm or
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/admin/preferences/circulation.pref
4) I found that these code bits were also missing from C4/Members.pm
or koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/admin/preferences/circulation.pref
from the untarred source code of 3.02.01
5) Adding the changes as per proposed patch at
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=1795 to
C4/Members.pm and
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/admin/preferences/circulation.pref
resolved the issue.

It seems the changes proposed to bug 4036 at
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=1795 were
pushed only partially.

Maybe that this is a bug?
