Source: redis-server
Version: 2:2.8.7-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm installing redis-server into a root filesystem using multistrap. The
host has a different architecture, so multistrap skips all scripts during
the install. Then when I run dpkg --configure -a, the postinst script
tries to chown redis /var/lib/redis, which fails because the redis user
that would have been created by preinst doesn't exist.
I haven't found an official policy on how packages are supposed to create a
user during install, but all the instances I found (in openssh-server,
racoon, trousers) did so in postinst rather than preinst. This unofficial
wiki document also recommends postinst:
https://wiki.debian.org/AccountHandlingInMaintainerScripts . Since this
convention happens to benefit multistrap users, I'd like to see
redis-server adopt it.
(See bug 627068 for further discussion about skipping preinst during
foreign installs.)
