Hi all, Summary for the Debian-med group: Someone reported a problem installing gnumed-server on Ubuntu. Before you say this is Debian and not Ubuntu let me tell you that I believe it affects Debian as well. The error that is encountered by the Ubuntu user is
>> chgrp: invalid group: 'gnumed' >> dpkg: error processing gnumed-server (--configure): >> subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status It does not seem to happen when a user installs gnumed-client prior to gnumed- server. That made me thinking. Recently the package gnumed-server droped the dependency gnumed-common. The package gnumed-client still has this dependency. addgroup gnumed seems to solve the problem so I was thinking the gnumed-client does something gnumed-server does not. Looking at the postinst script it seems there is some magic with regards to groups going on. So my guess is that since gnumed-common was droped as a dependency this is not done for the server anymore. Would anyone care to explain what is done in the postinst script of gnumed- common and if my analysis is correct fix this for gnumed-server ? Any help is appreciated. I know that Andreas is on vacation but maybe someone has time to look at it and maybe fix it. Thanks, Sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
