It looks like I need to make some changes to your system. Without those changes some packages might not work correctly. The list of changes are listed above. For more documentation on the Debian account policies please read /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/README. Should I update your system? [Y/n] I answer "Y" and then: Adding group "video" (44) Adding group "qmail" (70) Removing group "exec" (12) update-passwd: update-passwd.c:560: process_changed_groups: Assertion `mc!=((void *)0)' failed. /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.postinst: line 57: 8377 Aborted update-passwd --verbose dpkg: error processing base-passwd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 134 Errors were encountered while processing: base-passwd Ouch! I am afraid my system might not reboot now. Anyone else have this problem? -- Andrew
