This appears to have crept back into frr.
Noble (frr 8.4.4-1.1ubuntu6.5) includes a guard in postinst:
if getent passwd syslog > /dev/null; then
chown syslog:adm ...
fi
In questing (frr 10.4.1-3ubuntu1.1) the postinst unconditionally does:
chown syslog:adm /var/log/frr
This causes installation to fail in minimal environments (e.g.
mmdebstrap):
Setting up frr (10.4.1-3ubuntu1.1) ...
chown: invalid user: 'syslog:adm'
dpkg: error processing package frr (--configure)
The package does not create the syslog user and does not depend on any package
that guarantees its existence.
This is reproducible with:
mmdebstrap ... frr
