>From your log: Setting up puppet (5.4.0-2ubuntu3) ... adduser: No UID/GID pair is available in the range 100-999 (FIRST_SYS_UID - LAST_SYS_UID). adduser: The user `puppet' was not created.
Do you really have no ID left in 100-999? That would be odd. Never the less the command it runs that fails is: adduser --quiet --system --group --home /var/lib/puppet \ --no-create-home \ --gecos "Puppet configuration management daemon" \ puppet Maybe you could run and debug what is happening independent to the puppet package? You could check if the user was actually created but with some odd config? $ id puppet For me e.g. looks like: uid=114(puppet) gid=121(puppet) groups=121(puppet) And to check if really all are blocked: $ for i in $(seq 100 999); do id $i; done Finally I don't really know what you mean with "-deleted package". You had not installed it before, tried to install on 2019-05-16 and that failed. Where is the "deleted" part coming in? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829316 Title: package puppet 5.4.0-2ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: installed puppet package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1829316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
