Package: fetchmail Version: 6.2.5-12 Severity: important
When trying to install fetchmail on my system using apt-get install fetchmail or aptitude I get the following error: <-- SNIP --> chown: `fetchmail:nogroup': invalid user dpkg: error processing fetchmail (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: fetchmail E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) <-- SNIP --> I also tried to install the 6.2.5-13 package on this system as 6.2.5-13 works on my etch laptop, but it didn't work here. Basically it obviously seems to be some sort of problem with it not adding the fetchmail user. So whether this is a package bug or just a quirk on my system, any suggestions for a work around? Obviously simply adding fetchmail to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow should do it, but I don't quite understand the numbering scheme in /etc/shadow, so I don't want to mess anything up.
