I think the problem lies here: adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/zookeeper' does not belong to the user you are currently creating.
But in the packaging: debian/zookeeper.dirs:/var/lib/zookeeper Since the package "owns" the dir, it will be owned by root, which is wrong. So the fix is to remove that line from zookeeper.dirs. I don't believe this will have any ill effects, since the adduser will create it. I am testing that change right now. ** Changed in: zookeeper (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: zookeeper (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to zookeeper in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007433 Title: zookeeperd not running after installation of zookeeperd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zookeeper/+bug/1007433/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
