Package: rpcbind Version: 1.2.6-4 Severity: serious A fresh installation of rpcbind fails to start the service:
systemd[1]: Starting RPC bind portmap service...
rpcbind[314]: cannot get uid of '_rpc': Success
systemd[1]: rpcbind.service: Main process exited, code=exited,
status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: rpcbind.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start RPC bind portmap service.
That's because the `_rpc` user does not exist. Upgrading from an earlier image
(with 1.2.6-3) works because earlier versions created it:
# id _rpc
uid=108(_rpc) gid=65534(nogroup) groups=65534(nogroup)
Release -4 said "Remove obsolete debian/postinst file", and most of it may be
obsolete, but not this bit:
if [ "$1" = configure ] ; then
# run daemon as non-root (see #852066)
adduser --force-badname --system --quiet --home /run/rpcbind
--no-create-home _rpc
Please put this back. Or better yet, use systemd's User=, DynamicUser=, and
RuntimeDirectory= options to contain all of the setup in the unit.
Thanks!
