Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I've tested upgrade from bookworm to trixie over console without logging
into graphical session. During the upgrade greetd (with phog) was running.
```
Setting up greetd (0.10.3-4) ...
usermod: user _greetd is currently used by process 2540
dpkg: error processing package greetd (--configure):
installed greetd package post-installation script
subprocess returned error exit status 8
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of phog:
phog depends on greetd (>= 0.9.0-3); however:
Package greetd is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package phog (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
greetd
phog
```
When I login into graphical session, then greetd upgrade finishes
successfully.

Quack,
When greetd was first packaged it was using /etc/greetd as home
directory. Then later I realised that was not a great choice and moved
it. The usermod calls that fails tries to move the home to a new place
but because it is running it fails. I don't know how I missed that while
testing but I guess I was lucky in the sequence of events.
This was a one-time event though, once migrated you won't encounter this
problem.
In 0.10.3-6 that I just uploaded the user creation was refactored and it
should not happen again.
Regards.
