Package: messagewall Version: 1.0.8-3 The messagewall postinst does this:
adduser --system --home /var/run/messagewall --no-create-home \ --ingroup mwall --disabled-password mwall \ >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "User 'mwall' added to system" In other words, it conceals the error if adduser fails, and then the chown later in the postinst mysteriously fails. (The reason adduser failed was due to a known bug in adduser in a shadow-less system, as it happens.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
