Package: adduser Version: 3.144 Severity: important Hi,
this is a discussion with Vincent Lefevre on #1099470: >1. For a system account, there would still be an issue if the account↲ >has a password (if possible). If EXISTING_ID_MISMATCH is set, this↲ >would also yield an issue; I think that this is possible if the --uid↲ >adduser option is used, with an id different from the current one for↲ >this account. You should add a test for this case.↲ >↲ >2. For a non-system account, the problematic test would always be↲ >false, while it is actually meant to be true (the error message↲ >contains "but is not a system user"). So you should add a test↲ >↲ > adduser --system username↲ >↲ >where the username account already exists and is not a system account↲ >(not sure whether other options, such as --disabled-password, may be↲ >needed). One would expect a non-zero exit status because --system is↲ >used while username exists and is not a system account.↲ ↲
