Hello,

Upgrading from etch to lenny, I've been bitten by this bug.

The problem is that /var/lib/dpkg/info/rancid-core.postinst doesn't check if a rancid user/group exists before calling adduser... which fails.

As this leaves the package broken in an etch to lenny upgrade I'm bumping the severity to serious.

Be also aware that "adduser --system --group" doesn't insure that GID=UID. see #453086. By just removing the rancid user and forgotting rancid group, after a dpkg --configure rancid-core I got :
$ id rancid
uid=112(rancid) gid=1000(rancid) groupes=1000(rancid)

@+,

        Fab
