Package: lighttpd Version: 1.4.28-2+squeeze1 Severity: important
When installing on a Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/) running Debian 'squeeze' (specifically the image debian6-19-04-2012.zip available at http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads), the command `sudo apt-get install lighttpd` fails with the following error message: Unpacking lighttpd (from .../lighttpd_1.4.28-2+squeeze1_armel.deb) ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up lighttpd (1.4.28-2+squeeze1) ... chown: invalid user: `www-data:www-data' dpkg: error processing lighttpd (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 configured to not write apport reports Errors were encountered while processing: lighttpd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Running `sudo adduser --system --group www-data` and then re-running the install command results in lighttpd being installed correctly. I'd suggest that the www-data user/group should be set up as part of the package installation. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: armel (armv6l) Kernel: Linux 3.1.9+ Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lighttpd depends on: ii libattr1 1:2.4.44-2 Extended attribute shared library ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6+squeeze1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.3-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfam0 2.7.0-17 Client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-7.2 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze7 SSL shared libraries ii libterm-readline-perl-p 1.0303-1 Perl implementation of Readline li ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mime-support 3.48-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages lighttpd recommends: ii spawn-fcgi 1.6.3-1 A fastcgi process spawner Versions of packages lighttpd suggests: ii apache2-utils 2.2.16-6+squeeze7 utility programs for webservers ii openssl 0.9.8o-4squeeze12 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a pn rrdtool <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
