Package: ntop Version: 3:3.2-1 Severity: minor When isntalling ntop with aptitude, I get nasty warnings from adduser:
Setting up ntop (3.2-1) ... Adding system user: ntop. adduser: Warning: The home dir you specified already exists. Adding system user `ntop'... Adding new group `ntop' (116). Adding new user `ntop' (116) with group `ntop'. The home directory `/var/lib/ntop' already exists. Not copying from `/etc/skel' adduser: Warning: that home directory does not belong to the user you are currently creating Starting network top daemon: Fri Nov 11 16:33:29 2005 NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default Fri Nov 11 16:33:29 2005 Initializing gdbm databases The warnings are probably caused by the fact that ntop installs files into the /var/lib/ntop directory and then calls the adduser with --home /var/lib/ntop in the postinst script. Maybe the adduser should be in a preinst script, so it would not get upset. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages ntop depends on: ii adduser 3.77 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.58 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgd2-noxpm 2.0.33-2 GD Graphics Library version 2 (wit ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpcap0.7 0.7.2-7 System interface for user-level pa ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-3 SSL shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-4 compression library - runtime ntop recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * ntop/user: ntop * ntop/interfaces: eth0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
