The bug affected me too under an up2date Ubuntu 24.04.

During installation the packet fails at the postinst step with the error
message: `fatal: Only one or two names allowed.`

This errors is yielded by the `adduser` execution inside of the postinst
script. It has it's cause in the `--gecos "Flatpak system-wide
installation helper"` option given to the command. As it seems this
gecos option (which by the way is deprecated and could be replaced with
--comment, however this does not influence the here described behavior)
accepts one word only. As soon as one gives text with white spaces,
regardless of that they are framed by apostrophes, adduser results with
the mentioned error.So the fix is to change this text to be one word (or
omit the entire option).
