Package: redis-server Version: 2:2.8.17-1~bpo70+1+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, When trying to install the redis-server package from wheezy-backports, the postinst maintainer script fails because the 'redis' user already exists, from ldap in our case.
It appears the adduser command is exiting upon discovering that the system user 'redis' already exists, per the adduser man page [1]. Adding a call to getent before adduser should resolve things nicely: getent passwd redis >/dev/null 2>&1 || adduser ... [1] "If a user with the same name already exists in the system uid range (or, if the uid is specified, if a user with that uid already exists), adduser will exit with a warning."
