Hello Adduser people, Steinar, while reviewing uml-utilities bugs I can''t reproduce #326029 which is related to an adduser error while setting up the package. Relevant log from submitter is: Setting up uml-utilities (20040406-1) ... useradd: unknown group uml-net adduser: `/usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/uml-net -g uml-net -s /bin/false -u 254 uml-net'' returned error code 6. Aborting. Cleaning up. Removing user `uml-net''. userdel: user uml-net does not exist Removing group `uml-net''. groupdel: group uml-net does not exist dpkg: error processing uml-utilities (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ... Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover: Setting up uml-utilities (20040406-1) ... groupadd: name uml-net is not unique adduser: `/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 255 uml-net'' returned error code 9. Aborting. Cleaning up. Removing group `uml-net''. groupdel: group uml-net does not exist dpkg: error processing uml-utilities (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 uml-utilities postins uses the following script : if ! getent passwd uml-net >/dev/null; then if getent group uml-net >/dev/null; then # earlier versions only created a group adduser --quiet --system --ingroup uml-net --no-create-home uml-net else adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home uml-net fi fi which seem safe to me, and I also tried some combinations of existing user/existing group without being able to reproduce the bug. This was on 09/01/2005 I''d say around adduser>=3.67. Can any of you recognize any known adduser bug? I''ve seen some similar logs in the BTS (eg: #327804). Steinar, can you are you still able to reproduce such bug? Please Cc: me as I''m not subscribed to the adduser lists, thanks. Thans in advance. -- mattia :wq!
