[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#673759: sympa: fails to install: chown: invalid user: `sympa:sympa'

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: sympa
Version: 6.1.11~dfsg-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package sympa.
  (Reading database ... 13045 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking sympa (from .../sympa_6.1.11~dfsg-2_amd64.deb) ...
  Setting up sympa (6.1.11~dfsg-2) ...
  chown: invalid user: `sympa:sympa'
  dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   sympa


cheers,

Andreas
