Package: slurm-llnl Version: 1.2.27-1 Followup-For: Bug #459618 Hi Gennaro,
I encountered this bug again. I have not upgraded for a while so I did not notice it. The package fails to install on upgrade and install if the user "slurm" already exists, because adduser returns 1 in this case. The attached patch fixes the issue for me. It's a little code duplication but working. Maybe there's an easier way to do it (besides "adduser ... || true"). I just tested the package with 1.2.25 but it works for me and I think it will work with later versions of the package as well.
