What I just experienced on Maverick is exactly what MarcRandolph wrote on 2008-11-08: Installing ntop (sudo apt-get install ntop) on a machine (10.10 Maverick) where ntop have never been installed before gives messages like Warning: The home dir /var/lib/ntop you specified already exists.
and The home directory `/var/lib/ntop' already exists. Not copying from `/etc/skel'. adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/ntop' does not belong to the user you are currently creating. However when tried to reproduce it with sudo apt-get purge ntop sudo apt-get install ntop There was no problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138682 Title: ntop permissions are not set right during install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
