Overseen that it was an upgrade.
Thomas, I think the bug is clear:
quassel-core.postinst
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ "$2" = "" ]; then
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This makes sure, that the code is not run when upgraded, whereas the certificate
is always created. That's why it ended up in / ($QUASSEL_HOME was "") for Eugene
and no user was created. That is obviously a bug.
You should use a dpkg --compare-versions check above instead, or simply remove
it and always run the code. I'd rather add checks like
if [ ! -d $QUASSEL_HOME ] ; then
# create $HOME
echo "Creating $QUASSEL_HOME directory ..."
mkdir -p $QUASSEL_HOME
fi
