Public bug reported:
When installing the package xrdp on a system with an existing xrdp user
through directory authentication (VAS to Active Directory), the postinst
script fails because the user already exists.
Setting up xrdp (0.5.0-2) ...
adduser: The user `xrdp' already exists. Exiting.
dpkg: error processing xrdp (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
xrdp
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
getent shows the user as coming from VAS,
mwaltz@midna:/tmp $ getent passwd xrdp
xrdp:VAS:84118:200:xr dp:/usr2/xrdp:/bin/denylogin
Updating the postinst script to check if the user exists first and do
nothing, will work around this issue and still create the user on
systems when the user doesn't exist. See attached proposed patch.
