Package: firebird2.0-common
Version: 2.0.3.12981.ds1-6
Severity: normal
The logrotate job /etc/logrotate.d/firebird2.0 refers to the user firebird
("create 640 firebird adm"), but the package does not create the user. So now
I get an error message sent from logrotate via cron once a day.
It would probably be the wrong fix to make the package add the user, because
that would currently create a firebird user on every KDE desktop, which most
people probably don't want. Looking at PostgreSQL, there is a
postgresql-common and a separate postgresql-client-common package. Perhaps it
would be an idea to split up firebird the same way and put the logrotation
business in the server-side common package.
