Package: freevo
Version: 1.8.0-2
Severity: normal
The freevo user created during package installation is assigned /bin/false
as its login shell:
freevo:x:102:104::/home/freevo:/bin/false
This breaks functionality of the freevo init scripts, owing to their use
of substitute user (su) commands. The default freevo services (xserver,
recordserver, encodingserver) cannot be started as a consequence.
Please either change the assigned login shell to /bin/sh, or specify the
shell to be invoked (via `--shell') within the init scripts.
