Package: ejabberd Version: 2.1.10-4+deb7u1 Followup-For: Bug #516718 Dear Maintainer,
I have experienced this or a related problem today when installing ejabberd. At the setup stage, the following is shown: Setting up ejabberd (2.1.10-4+deb7u1) ... adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/ejabberd' does not belong to the user you are currently creating. Generating SSL certificate /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem... Creating config file /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg with new version Starting jabber server: ejabberdFailed to set thread main status: Invalid argument (22) Aborted The latter message is repeated over and over, with only Ctrl-Z usable to stop the process (for subsequent manual termination). Running "dpkg --configure -a" just repeats the same problem: Setting up ejabberd (2.1.10-4+deb7u1) ... Starting jabber server: ejabberdFailed to set thread main status: Invalid argument (22) Aborted Failed to set thread main status: Invalid argument (22) Aborted Performing an "apt-get remove" successfully removes the package (the error loop above does not occur - the script just gives up), and an "apt-get install" repeats the situation, albeit without the warning about /var/lib/ejabberd. I'm running this system under User Mode Linux, but this doesn't usually cause problems with other network-related software. With a broken package, it does seem to be possible to invoke the daemon manually using the command from the init script, and as pointed out in another bug (#709754), an epmd daemon gets started, but the package state does not seem to be fixable. I hope this provides useful information. It's rare to see a Debian package fail in this way.
