Aborting. dpkg: error processing avahi-daemon (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 4 Errors were encountered while processing: avahi-daemon The problem seems to be this adduser call: adduser --disabled-password --quiet --system \ --home /var/run/avahi-daemon \ --gecos "Avahi mDNS daemon" --group avahi According to the adduser manual page, this creates a group with the same name and ID as the new user. It looks like adduser picks a UID first, then fails if the GID corresponding to that UID is already used. If I create the group separately, everything works fine: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo addgroup --system avahi Adding group `avahi' (110)... Done. Adding new user `avahi' (105) with group `nogroup'. Creating home directory `/home/avahi'. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo adduser --disabled-password --quiet --system = --home /var/run/avahi-daemon --gecos "Avahi mDNS daemon" --g= roup avahi [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ This is arguably a bug in adduser; feel free to clone and/or reassign it there.
