Package: puppet-common Version: 2.6.2-4 Hello, On a new installation (not a package upgrade) of the puppet-common package from the squeeze repositories, this error is displayed:
Setting up puppet-common (2.6.2-4) ... adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/puppet' does not belong to the user you are currently creating. This is because the 'puppet' user is created on the system in the postinst script, thus the /var/lib/puppet directory is already copied by the installer with root:root permissions: $ ls -al /var/lib/ | grep puppet drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-01-13 12:02 puppet A fix is to create a preinst script where the 'puppet' user and its home (/var/lib/puppet) is created with the right permissions prior installing the files from the package. Thank you. --- Dan
