Package: cyrus21-common
Version: 2.1.18-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
today an "apt-get -u dist-upgrade" failed with
Non-system user cyrus found. I will not overwrite a non-system
user. Remove the user and reinstall cyrus21-common.
for cyrus21-common and with unmet dependencies for cyrus21-imapd
afterwards. Removing the user and reinstalling cyrus-common didn't
work either (sorry, I forgot to capture the error message)
Investigation showed that adduser in the "configure-" section of
postinst returns with a non-zero exit code, if the system user to add
is already present and _is_ a system user. The appended "grep"-code
cannot distinguish a system- from a non-system user and if so would
only have changed the error message.
The included patch changes the behavior of postinst to re-use an
existing cyrus system user, which I believe is, what was intended.
