Package: ganglia-monitor Version: 3.7.2-7 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertag: toolchain
Your package has a preinst maintainer script, calling adduser. At the same time, your package Depends: adduser, but does not Pre-Depends: adduser. Also, the preinst silently ignores failures from adduser (with "2>/dev/null || true"). As a result, the dpkg-statoverride call after adduser fails. Reproducer: $ mmdebstrap --variant=essential --include=ganglia-monitor unstable /dev/null ... Selecting previously unselected package ganglia-monitor. Preparing to unpack .../20-ganglia-monitor_3.7.2-7_arm64.deb ... dpkg-statoverride: error: user 'ganglia' does not exist dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rKdVwf/20-ganglia-monitor_3.7.2-7_arm64.deb (--unpack): new ganglia-monitor package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rKdVwf/20-ganglia-monitor_3.7.2-7_arm64.deb E: Sub-process env returned an error code (1) You may consider replacing adduser with a sysusers fragment, see https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/debhelper/dh_installsysusers.1.en.html Otherwise, please Pre-Depend on adduser. Best, Chris
