Package: adduser
Version: 3.67
Severity: normal
The postgresql-common package does the following to add its system user
"postgres":
if ! getent passwd postgres > /dev/null; then
adduser --system --quiet --no-create-home --home /var/lib/postgresql
--group --gecos "PostgreSQL administrator" pos
fi
I suppose this is common usage.
If, for whatever reason, the "postgres" group already exists, that call
fails:
adduser: The group `postgres' already exists.
($? = 1)
As a consequence, the whole package installation fails in this case.
That makes adduser --system --group a rather fragile combination. I suggest
that the existing group is not really an error and the new user should
simply be added to the existing group.
