Package: mongodb-server Version: 1:3.2.11-2 Severity: normal I am using Kolla to build container images with OpenStack components. One of images contains mongodb. And it fails to build.
Part of build is creation of users with fixed UID/GID values. Which works fine for most situations as packages usually are fine with user accounts already existing. But not mongodb ;( root@6b1baf99f51e:/# id mongodb uid=20007(mongodb) gid=20007(mongodb) groups=20007(mongodb) root@6b1baf99f51e:/# apt install mongodb-server Reading package lists...
