Package: ejabberd Version: 2.1.5-2 Severity: normal While upgrading from 2.1.5-1 to 2.1.5-2 the ejabberd package post-installation would fail with the following output:
Setting up ejabberd (2.1.5-2) ...
adduser: The user `ejabberd' already exists. Exiting.
dpkg: error processing ejabberd (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
ejabberd
To work-around this error, I edited ejabberd.postinst.
Before:
configure|reconfigure)
adduser --quiet --system --shell /bin/sh --group --home
/var/lib/ejabberd ejabberd
setup_ejabberd "$@"
;;
After:
configure|reconfigure)
if ! getent passwd ejabberd > /dev/null; then
adduser --quiet --system --shell /bin/sh --group \
--home /var/lib/ejabberd ejabberd
fi
setup_ejabberd "$@"
;;
Thanks!
