I guess I don't understand. The current account seem perfectly valid, i.e., uid = 108. Why is the configure scripts trying to re-add the user if it already exists? I can re-add the user, but what ID should I use? I tried running adduser by hand and got what I think are the expected results: # adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng adduser: The user `apt-cacher-ng' already exists. Exiting. I am guessing I could delete the user, then rerun the configure script everything would fine. -- Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
