I believe you need to add the group before adding the user. please file an seperate bug, i do not see how your experienced breakage is related to #312393? did you do an upgrade from woody, is it a fresh install? if you want i can forward to a new bug. And all this is breaking the remaining installation process. The files and directories are not getting chowned from the script. HTH, rrs the postrm takes care of removing the logcheck user. anyway that is not run on installation of logcheck!! we need more info from you side, atm i doubt your report is connected to aboves bug? greetings -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The OP mentioned of the problem after doing multiple installations and uninstallations of logcheck. So by then it is same as a plain installation. This OP's bug report mentions /var/lock/logcheck not having proper ownership permissions and that is because the postinst script is broken. I'm badly stuck up with other important work so can't give you a patch at the moment. :-( rrs -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT -- http://www.researchut.com Gnupg Key ID: 04F130BC Stealing logic from one person is plagiarism, stealing from many is research.

I'm badly stuck up with other important work so can't give you a patch at the moment. :-( i guess you interrupt the postrm or similar to get into similar troubles. ok thanks for your clarifications. the following might help to clarify the situation: the error 2 is corrected in latest logcheck source and his harmless. the error 1 is a direct consequence of error 3, logcheck needs it's user to be able to run. can you please provide the output of the following command on your system: adduser --quiet --system --no-create-home --group --home /var/lib/logcheck logcheck you need to run aboves cmd as root, afterwards the output of that would be intersting: getent passwd logcheck as aboves may fail, are you using selinux or grsecurity? what are you mount options, please send output of: mount also the plain output of this both may help: getent passwd getent group (aboves should not be sensitive but if you care you can send me and todd privately) -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
