Last time the bug was different: "preinst failing if the user "slurm" does not exist on the system while upgrading" > because adduser returns 1 in this case. The attached > patch fixes the issue for me. The problem is with adduser beacuse in the "EXIT VALUES" section of the manual page I read: "Invoking adduser a second time with the same parameters as before also returns 0." and this is not to be happening. > It's a little code duplication but working. Patch was ok I only changed one thing that could break the script execution, the new patch is attached.

What are its uid and gid? Thanks for your help -- Gennaro
