Package: sysuser-helper Version: 2.1.2-54 Severity: serious Justification: makes runit fail to install Control: affects -1 + runit
runit fails to install in unstable. An easy reproducer is this: $ mmdebstrap --variant=essential --include runit sid /dev/null ... Setting up runit (2.1.2-54) ... /lib/sysuser-helper/sysuser-helper: 19: useradd: not found dpkg: error processing package runit (--configure): installed runit package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: runit E: Sub-process env returned an error code (1) E: setup failed: E: apt-get -o Dir::Bin::dpkg=env -o DPkg::Options::=--unset=TMPDIR -o DPkg::Options::=dpkg -o DPkg::Chroot-Directory=/tmp/mmdebstrap.ZhieYGlyAI -d I: main() received signal PIPE: waiting for setup... I: removing tempdir /tmp/mmdebstrap.ZhieYGlyAI... E: mmdebstrap failed to run $ I think the failure actually is with sysuser-helper, which misses a dependency on passwd. passwd used to be pseudo-essential but no longer is. As such sysuser-helper must depend on it explicitly. Helmut
