Are you this isn't something else? This part from the postinst script is a bit weird:
the postinst does:
if [ "x$1" = xconfigure ]; then
if [ ! `getent group snmp >/dev/null` ]; then
deluser --quiet --system snmp
fi
adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home
/var/lib/snmp snmp
chown -R snmp:snmp /var/lib/snmp
fi
On my system (real system, not chroot, virtual machine etc.), I've
noticed this doesn't work because I've configured it to backup user home
directories when the user is deleted; so I get a lot of lines like:
/usr/sbin/deluser: Cannot handle special file /proc/28732/fd/1
The test [ ! `getent group snmp >/dev/null` ] will, as far as I can
tell, always be false (`somecommand >/dev/null` will always result in ''
so the test is effectively [ ! '' ]):
luci@lucifer:~$ [ ! `getent group root >/dev/null` ] && echo foo
foo
luci@lucifer:~$ [ ! `getent group lala >/dev/null` ] && echo foo
foo
Are you sure it shouldn't have been:
if ! `getent group snmp >/dev/null`; then
?
luci@lucifer:~$ ! getent group root >/dev/null && echo foo
luci@lucifer:~$ ! getent group lala >/dev/null && echo foo
foo
