Before I checked whether there is a user condor and did not create one in case there was. Now I leave this to adduser -- which _only_ fails in the case of non-system user being present on the system. Now you need to convince me that the bug is in the package and not on your system ;-) The package would create something like this: condor:x:107:110:Condor Daemons,,,:/var/lib/condor:/bin/false I'd say it looks like this: - your condor user has login permissions although not necessary - has a homedir that is "wrong" - it might refer to an actual human user -- I can't tell You could say that the package should not interfere with the admin's decisions and happily accept any condor user it finds on a system. However, I disagree that a non-system user should be used for a system service. Chances are that there is an actual user named condor, in this case there would be a valid problem that should not be silenced. Right now, I'm leaning towards downgrading the severity of this bug to normal and tag it WONTFIX. But I'm open to consider any argument that would justify not failing with your system setup.
