cassandra deb should depend on adduser
--------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-1816
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1816
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: Debian squeeze
Reporter: paul cannon
Priority: Minor
Attachments: cass-1816.txt
The cassandra debian package uses the addgroup and adduser commands in its
postinst script, which are found in the 'adduser' package, but the cassandra
debian package does not depend on adduser. When a user does not already have
adduser installed, this will lead to an error like:
{noformat}
Setting up cassandra (0.7.0~rc1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/cassandra.postinst: 50: addgroup: not found
dpkg: error processing cassandra (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
{noformat}
Yes, this won't happen much, because systems without adduser installed are
rare. But adduser is not "Essential: yes", so it will happen sometimes in
bare-bones VMs or development environments.
