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

[Eric Evans]

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,
