Package: snmpd
Version: 5.4.3~dfsg-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 6.2 Maintainer scripts idempotency
Dear Reader,
When configured with NIS, deluser doesn't work properly. This is a bug in
itself, but I can't find the right place to file *that*.
Since part of the upgrade process of *snmpd* uses deluser, it violates the
maintainer scripts. The scripts HANG, whilst waiting for the nisserver to
magically remove the user 'snmpd'.
To reproduce, configure nis, and add a password entry in /etc/passwd:
+:*:::::/sbin/nologin
Then try upgrading snmpd (any version where the postinst script will invoke
'deluser snmpd' will probably do).
If you think this bug is not in the right place, please reassign it to the
package "adduser".
Kind regards,
Kai
