Logcheck devel - May 2004 - Bug#249324: now the user is not created anymore, although it should be

Hi kalsu,

I am unable to reproduce this here so I am hoping that you can help with
some additional information.

First, the package on debian.stro.at was apparently built from CVS and
depending on when, it is entirely possible this bug may no longer exist.
Can you please attach a copy of /var/lib/dpkg/info/logcheck.preinst?

The relevant bit of the preinst script should look like this ...

case "$1" in
    install|upgrade)
        if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 1.2.19; then
          deluser logcheck &>/dev/null || true
          adduser --quiet --system --no-create-home --group \
              --home /var/lib/logcheck logcheck || true
          adduser --quiet logcheck adm || true
        fi
    [ ... ]

What happens if you run the adduser commands manually? Are there any
errors? Is the logcheck user created?

Regards,

well until todd declares a freeze, those packages are from cvs head,
for shure i can't keep up with every change,
but i updated them yesterday morning the last time,
as you can see it on the dir listing of http://debian.stro.at/sarge/.
the fix for gratuitously is there for in, but seems to be buggy.
we had to manualy add the logcheck user.
