Package: ceph-common
Version: 20.2.4+ds-1
Severity: serious
Justification: 6
Dear maintainer,
ceph-common cannot be configured by dpkg as it fails on postinst.

usermod: unlocking the user's password would result in a passwordless account.
You should set a password with usermod -p to unlock this user's password.

This is because usermod returns 20 when unlocking a user, a recent behavior
change, I believe.
-------8<--------8<--------
#Unlock $SERVER_USER in case it is locked from an uninstall
if [ -f /etc/shadow ]; then
usermod -U -e '' $SERVER_USER
else
usermod -U $SERVER_USER
fi

IMO this should be a warning, not an error that stops postinst from being
processed further.
After a bug number is generated, I'm sending a patch and a merge request on
salsa, whichever you prefer.
