This path of xymon-client's postinst is only taken if either the user or group "hobbit" exists.
Has hobbit-clients been installed and later removed (but probably not purged) on that system in the past? Does the user or group "hobbit" still exist? Does the issue persist after "dpkg --purge hobbit-client"? ** Changed in: xymon (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407498 Title: unable to instally xymon-client package fails: find: `/etc/hobbit': No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xymon/+bug/1407498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
