If that's the case, then this would be a bug in adduser and not systemd. I can't reproduce that though # getent passwd systemd-timesync systemd-timesync:x:108:113:systemd Time Synchronization,,,:/run/systemd:/bin/false # adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home /run/systemd --gecos "systemd Time Synchronization" systemd-timesync # echo $? 0 > Since the whole script is run under `set -e`, when the `adduser` command > fails, the entire > systemd.postist script aborts. Can you add "set -e" to systemd.postinst and then run dpkg --configure -a and attach the log. Somehow I suspect the addgroup / adduser message is a red herring. > Fixing the problem is as simple as appending ' || true' to the end of each of > the > problematic `adduser` commands Nope, that would we a hack, not a fix -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
