Hi Terry,
I think that the problem is because the user tuptime have the shell
"/bin/sh" and the script spect an execution from "/bin/bash". Using "su
-" prevent any herietage from the execution user, in this case "root",
and normally, this user have the bash shell assigned.
I tried to find the "lcx_all_users_aliases.sh" script but I didn't found
anything from the offical repos. Please, can you pass me the content of
if? (maybe directly to my address if you have sensitive information).
Thanks,

Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
The install fails due to the inclusion of '-' in the postinst file.
Specifically, line 30 reads "su - tuptime -c "tuptime -x". The use of
the '-' causes full login shell exec to /bin/sh which was incompatible
with our /etc/profile.d files.
Removal of the '-' in postinst should fix the situation.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=875958 for
another
example of 'su -' causing a conflict with files in /etc/profile.d.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I uninstalled tuptime, removed the files in /etc/profile.d, and
reinstalled successfully.
* What was the outcome of this action?
This fixed the problem.
