Package: rancid-core
Version: 2.3.1-4
Severity: normal
The postinst script for rancid-core calls usermod to set the rancid user's
home directory. This fails if the user database is not /etc/passwd (e.g.
when using LDAP.) Attached patch uses getent to check the rancid user's
current home directory and does not call usermod if it is already correct.
This allows users not using /etc/passwd to avoid the error by manually
creating a correct rancid user.
