Package: ledgersmb
Version: 1.6.33+ds-2.2
Severity: serious
User: [email protected]
Usertag: toolchain
Your package has a preinst maintainer script, calling adduser. At the same
time, your package Depends: adduser, but does not Pre-Depends: adduser.
Installing your package fails when adduser is not yet configured.
Reproducer:
$ mmdebstrap --variant=essential --include=ledgersmb unstable /dev/null
...
Selecting previously unselected package ledgersmb.
Preparing to unpack .../211-ledgersmb_1.6.33+ds-2.2_all.deb ...
warn: `/etc/adduser.conf' does not exist. Using defaults.
Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/AdduserLogging.pm line 161.
dpkg: error processing archive
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-Z6hj5d/211-ledgersmb_1.6.33+ds-2.2_all.deb (--unpack):
new ledgersmb package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit
status 25
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-Z6hj5d/211-ledgersmb_1.6.33+ds-2.2_all.deb
E: Sub-process env returned an error code (1)
You may consider replacing adduser with a sysusers fragment, see
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/debhelper/dh_installsysusers.1.en.html
Otherwise, please Pre-Depend on adduser.
Best,
Chris
